When fossil fuels burn what are the reactants?
The burning of fossil fuels are a combustion reaction. The reaction for the combustion has the reactants of propane (C3H8) and oxygen (O2). The combustion reactions products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
Do fuels need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. CO2 is a product of combustion. If the concept that LeChatelier proposed is used, the CO2 actually gets in the way of the combustion reaction (burning).
Why is incomplete combustion messy?
Incomplete combustion occurs when there is insufficient oxygen present to fully burn the fuel. This leads to the production of soot, carbon monoxide, and other harmful byproducts. These byproducts can accumulate and create a messy residue, such as black carbon deposits or soot, which can stain surfaces.
Does carbon burn in a vacuum?
In normal usage, 'burning' means oxygen combustion, so without a source of oxygen carbon cannot burn. Rockets get around this problem by carrying supplies of oxygen with them (although rockets usually burn hydrogen rather than carbon compounds). Further, given sufficient temperatures, carbon compounds may react chemically with other available substances, which may be considered a kind of burning
What does oxygen react with that causes an combustion?
hydrocarbon
When fossil fuels burn what are the reactants?

What is the reactants and products of combustion?
Combustion involves many different reactants and produces many different products. There are endless numbers of things that can burn, and endless types of chemicals released when these things burn. Added: Generally, and what you will see in an academic setting, this; A hydrocarbon, or a carbohydrate with oxygen gas as the reactants. The products are always carbon dioxide and water. CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O An example of a common combustion reaction.
What are the reactants and pruducts when isooctane and oxygen burn to form carbon dioxide and water?
reactants: isooctane & oxygen products: carbon dioxide & water
When you burn ethanol what do you get?
When you burn ethanol, you get carbon dioxide and water vapor as the main products. This combustion reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light.
When you burn sugar you are left with carbon. Is that a chemical or physical change?
Chemical change. This is an incomplete combustion, reaction with O2.
What happens to propane when it is all burnt?
when you burn propane to complete combustion you will get a mixture of carbon dioxide and water vapor.
Do fuels need carbon dioxide to burn?
No. CO2 is a product of combustion. If the concept that LeChatelier proposed is used, the CO2 actually gets in the way of the combustion reaction (burning).
When fuels burn which gas is formed and why?
When fuels burn, a combustion reaction is observed. This means that the fuel, which is made predominantly from carbon and hydrogen is heated in the presence of oxygen. If there is sufficient oxygen, you will have carbon dioxide and water produced. This is called complete combustion. When there is insufficient amounts of oxygen, the fuel cannot burn to completion, so you will get carbon dioxide, carbon, and/or carbon monoxide; and of course, water. This is called incomplete combustion. So to sum up your answer, when burnt with enough oxygen present, the gas that is formed will be carbon dioxide. If there is insufficient oxygen, then you will get carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Carbon is not included as it is a solid, not a gas. This is a chemical change and it happens because the reactants (fuel and oxygen) become excited when reacted with each other and the atoms rearrange themselves to form a new product.
When we burn fuels what reactions and products are made and what happens when we burn fuels?
Different fuels produce different products. Burning hydrogen produces only water. Burning methane produces both water and carbon dioxide. Burning gasoline produces lots of products. In any event, burning a fuel produces heat that we use for various purposes.
When things burn they do what?
They let out a gas like carbon dioxide and some very poisonous chemicals
Why is incomplete combustion messy?

These byproducts can accumulate and create a messy residue, such as black carbon deposits or soot, which can stain surfaces.
What are made when hydrocarbon burn?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) when hydrocarbons burn in oxygen, carbon dioxide and water are formed
