Triacontane is similar to candle wax (C25H52) and, when burnt, will produce CO2 and water vapour:
2 C30H62 + 91 O2 -> 60 CO2 + 62 H2O
(For the algebraically-minded, the general formula for combustion of any hydrocarbon is:
CxHy + (x+y/4) O2 -> x CO2 + y/2 H2O.)
Incomplete combustion will produce a mixture of carbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water - a bit more complicated! Combustion in air will produce oxides of nitrogen and potentially thousands of amines and other 'nasties'.

combustion reactions cannot be reversed what are they
Why is combustion reactions an oxidation reactions?
Because combustion is a reaction with oxygen.
Why is combustion reactions an oxidation reactions in small amount?
Combustion is an oxidation reaction - a reaction with oxygen.
In what type of reaction is water always a product?
Combustion reactions
Is combustion exothermic or endothermic?
exothermic reactions are the reactions which give out heat and endothermic reactions are the reaction which absorb heat.so combustion is an exothermic reaction.
What are combustion reactions?
Oxidation.
When an acid and an alkali react it is called combustion?
No. Acid + alkali reactions are neutralisation reactions. Combustion is a reaction with oxygen.
Are Ombustion reactions exothermic or endothermic?
Combustion reactions are exothermic.

All of them can be redox reactions.
Are combustion reactions exothermic or endothermic?
All combustion is exothermic. ( i love pie)
Is a combustion of coal an endothermic reaction?
NO ... all burning/combustion reactions are exothermic.
