What happens if there is an insufficient supply of oxygen during the combustion of a hydrocarbon?

Like any other hydrocarbons, benzene and methylbenzene burn in a plentiful supply of oxygen to give carbon dioxide, water and oxygen my guess would be that if you didnt have enough in the first place nothing would happen becuase the eqaution of combustion has to be ballance so if thers 2 h2o there has to be to of everthing else or nothing would happen

What gas is produced during combustion?
When Oxygen is deficient in the combustion of a hydrocarbon carbon monoxide (CO) will be produced and in severe cases even carbon(S) can be produced.
What happens during the process of combustion?
During combustion, a reaction occurs between a fuel and an oxidant. This results in the production of heat and the conversion of chemical species. The release of heat can result in the production of light in the form of either glowing or a flame.
What are the two products made during the complete combustion of Paraffin Wax?
water vapour and carbon products of combustion.
Which gas is produced during the incomplete combustion of coal?
carbon monoxide. CO is a product resulting as the definition of incomplete combustion. complete combustion yields carbon dioxide, CO2.
A gas which is made during the incomplete combustion of octane?
octopus

What happens when carbon dioxide gas in a reaction?
Do you mean what happens when CO2 is produced? It's always produced during combustion reactions.

What happens during combustion of hydrogen?
combustion which result to a colourless smoky flame (depending on the amount of carbon present) giving off carbon dioxide and water
What is the main gas released during complete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon dioxide, CO2. The word and sybol equations are: hydrocarbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water CH4 +2H2O --> + CO2 (+energy) Hope this helped!
What is the name of the pollutant caused by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels?
Carbon monoxide is produced during incomplete combustion of any hydrocarbon or fossil fuel. Adding oxygenates (molecules containing oxygen) to the fuel and maintaining the proper air/fuel ratio can reduce the amount of carbon monoxide generated.
Glowing gases observed during combustion?
Glowing gases observed during combustion is called a "flame."
What will happen if the air is limited during the combustion?
If limited then combustion is reduced, if totally restricted then there's no combustion at all
Is oxygen one result of combustion?
No. Oxygen is a reactant in combustion, not a product.
Is moecular oxygen a reaction during a combustion?
No. Molecular oxygen is a reactant in a combustion reaction.
What are the similarities between this equation for burning glucose and the equation for cellular respiration of gluclose when oxygen is available?
Both respiration and combustion utilize oxygen and a fuel source to produce energy, carbon dioxide and water. In the case of combustion, it is a hydrocarbon that serves as fuel and during respiration it is glucose.
What 2 substances are formed when gasoline burns with oxygen during combustion?
During complete combustion, carbon dioxide and water are formed. If incomplete combustion occurs, carbon monoxide and water are produced.
