What are the patterns of combustion reaction?

Combustion reactions involve a fuel (hydrocarbon) reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. The general pattern is: fuel + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water. Combustion reactions are exothermic, releasing heat and light energy.


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.


Define complete combustion and write a chemical equation for the complete combustion of methane gas?

Complete combustion is the reaction with oxygen of a material containing at least one of carbon and hydrogen to convert all of the carbon content of the material to carbon dioxide and all of the hydrogen content to water. For methane, CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O. But minimum speed range for the CNG vehicle in driving condition should be atleast 50 km per hour for optimum oxygen ratio with methane to achieve complete combustion of CNG


What is the combustion equation?

The combustion equation typically refers to the chemical reaction of a fuel with oxygen to produce heat, light, and products such as carbon dioxide and water. A general combustion equation for a hydrocarbon fuel like methane (CH4) can be written as: CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O + heat.


Explain what is combustion?

Did you mean combustion? Combustion is the chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant which will produce heat. Ex: a camp-fire is a combustion, the gas being burned in the engine of your car is also.

Give the names of the two products of complete combustion of a fuel such as petrol?

The two products of complete combustion of a fuel like petrol are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).


Which the following is a necessary product of a combustion reaction?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a necessary product of a combustion reaction involving a carbon-based fuel source. When the fuel undergoes combustion and reacts with oxygen, CO2 is produced along with heat and sometimes water vapor.


When a fuel burns this gas is produced?

When a fuel burns, it undergoes a combustion reaction. Combustion has two main products. These products are water and carbon dioxide.


What are the elements needed in the combustion reaction?

You need oxygen (O2) and some source of fuel. That source of fuel is usually, but not always, a hydrocarbon. For example the combustion of propane would be CH3CH2CH3 + O2 =>3CO2 + 4H2O.The complete combustion of a hydrocarbon will always result in CO2 and H2O.


What is the common product of a reaction between oxygen and a fuel?

When fuel is burned in oxygen, this is called combustion. Depending on the fuel used, the chemical reaction will be different. Taking propane gas, as an example: CH3CH2CH3 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O All combustion reactions of fuel will result in CO2 and H2O.


Explain why complete combustion is desirable?

The advantages of a complete combustion reaction are that they don't release as harmful toxic pollutants. In an incomplete combustion Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and carbon is released. A complete combustion only releases carbon dioxide.


When carbon burns in air carbon dioxide is formed what type of reaction is this?

This is a combustion reaction, where a fuel (carbon) reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.


What is a necessary product of a combustion reaction?

Heat
