Burning can mean two different things in chemistry: Usually it refers to combustion, but especially with hydrocarbons, it could also mean pyrolysis or "cracking".
Combustion of straight-chain alkanes (normal carbon-hydrogen structures) follows the formula:
CnH2n+2 + (2n)O2 ----> (n)CO2 + (2n)H2O + heat
where n is a positive integer.

Carbon Dioxide is given off because when the gasoline combusts C02 is left
What is reaction for complete combustion of pure carbon fuel?
Pure carbon combusts in an oxygen atmosphere to produce carbon dioxide and heat. C + O2 --> CO2
Are apet and petg plastic biodegradable or decompose over time?
Composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, A-PET is non-toxic, 100% recyclable and environmentally friendly. If incinerated, A-PET combusts completely, creating only water and carbon dioxide.
