If a hydrocarbon is completely burned, the products are water vapor and carbon dioxide. Various partial combustion products are often produced, however. These include carbon monoxide, smoke, and sometimes other forms of hydrocarbons.

What do you get when you burn a hydrocarbon with oxygen?

Generally, the hydrocarbon undergoes a combustion reaction, forming water and carbon dioxide. The water formed may be in the form of water vapour. But in the case where oxygen is limited, the hydrocarbon may under incomplete combustion, forming a gaseous mixture of water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.A hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen means burning the hydrocarbon. When hydrocarbons are burned, the oxides of the compound elements, such as CO2,H2O are formed. If the hydrocarbon contain elements like Nitrogen, sulfur, etc oxides of them can be formed.

When oil undergoes a combustion reaction what products are formed?

Impossible to say with accuracy as it depends on what is in the oil, the temperature of the combustion and how much oxygen is available. In theory oil is purely hydrocarbon, so if it is burnt completely, water and carbon dioxide are the only products.


What products are formed when hydrocarbon combust?

Which gas is formed when charcoal is burnt?

The combustion of any hydrocarbon (charcoal is made from wood) produces carbon dioxide, CO2, and water, H20. However, charcoal is usually burned in a low oxygen environment like your grill, in which case Carbon Monoxide, CO, is formed. This is a poisonous gas also found in car exhaust and is why you should not grill indoors.
