- Reaction or process that does not convert all of the fuel's carbon and hydrogen into carbon dioxide and water, respectively. For example, incomplete combustion of carbon produces carbon monoxide.
- It is also a flame, but this flame is a jellow one so is not as harmfull
However none of these answers will help with your homework when you are in year 7.

complete combustion-whatever you are burning (usually hydrocarbon) burns/reacts completely with oxygen gas (O2) to form ONLY CO2 (carbon dioxide) and water (H2O).

∙ 12y agoTotal combustion or perfect combustion is the result of a proper air to fuel ratio mixed with the proper amount of heat in an engine.
Let me explain.
In an internal combustion engine there are 3 things that produce power in an engine.
- Air
- Fuel
- Heat
When the proper amount of air is mixed with fuel (14.7 parts of air to 1 part of fuel) and met with an adequate heat or ignition source (spark from spark plug), you theoretically should achieve total combustion. In a gasoline engine you get air and fuel mixed together in its proper ratio, and have it enter one of the engines cylinders. When the piston within the cylinder is in its upward compression stroke, the compression creates pressure and which heats up the mixture. The spark plug then fires slightly before the piston reaches top dead center (normally 12 degrees before) and causes the air mixed with the fuel to ignited. This is known as combustion. The perfect combustion results should be H2O, CO2 and heat (Water, Carbon Dioxide, and Heat).
It has yet to be achieved by engineers, and the result being less than perfect emissions. This is why we have emission control systems in place such as Catalytic Converters to reduce all the harmful gases. These pollutants include Hydro Carbons, Carbon Oxide, and Oxides of Nitrogen. (HC, CO, NOx)

So that means there are no by-products!
Only CO2 and H2O are your products.

Why is incomplete combustion messy?
A complete combustion reaction will produce CO2 and H2O, while an incomplete combustion reaction produces CO and H2O.
Why does incomplete combustion occur in engines?
Incomplete combustion is a waste of fuel because un-burned fuel is passed out the exhaust. This is caused by the engine to pull in more fuel than is needed or can be used.
What problems has crude oil caused?
Fossil fuels Pollution CO2 Global warming Incomplete combustion Non-renewable non-sustainable
What solid product released during the incomplete combustion of hydrcarbon fuels?
Carbon!!! as black soot/'smoke'. For incomoplete combustion CnH2n+2 + O2 = H2O(l) + CO2(g) + CO(g) + C (s) This is not a balanced equation , but given to demoinstrate incomplete combustions products.
What is a example of incomplete combustion?
CH4(g) + O2(g) = C(s)+ 2H2O(l)OR2CH4(g) + 3O2(g) = 2CO(g) + 4H2O(l)
What are dangers of incomplete combustion?
The Main danger of incomplete combustion is the production of carbon monoxide.
What is an example of incomplete combustion of sucrose?
For example the preparation of caramel can be considered an incomplete combustion.
What does incomplete combustion do to the engine of a car?
Incomplete combustion in an engine indicates that all of the fuel has not been burnt. Incomplete combustion can cause clogging and damage to the valves in the engine of a car.
What gas is produced during the incomplete combustion?
the poisoness gas produced by incomplete combustion is carbon monoxide:)
What are the precautions to be taken during incomplete combustion?
A regular supply of oxygen or air can avoid the incomplete combustion.
Why is incomplete combustion messy?
A complete combustion reaction will produce CO2 and H2O, while an incomplete combustion reaction produces CO and H2O.
What is the symbol equation for incomplete combustion of methane?
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
What is the equation for the incomplete combustion of decane?
Incomplete combustion of decane is ...2 C10H22 + 21 O2 ==> 20CO + 22H2O
Can incomplete combustion of natural gas produce aldehyde?
Yes, incomplete combustion of natural gas can produce aldehyde. It is also stated that incomplete combustion of natural gas also produces carbon monoxide.
What is the incomplete symbol equation for combustion of methane ch4?
Incomplete combustion of Methane is....2CH4 + 2O2 --> CO + C + 4H2O
Why is incomplete combustion of fuels more harmful to human beings?
Incomplete combustion often produces toxic compounds such as carbon monoxide.
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.
