Typically, organic compounds produce mostly water and carbon dioxide when burned. However, a more precise answer depends largely on the compound, but here goes. For fuels such as coal CO2 and CO are the main products with SO2 being formed by sulfur impurities and H2O by hydrocarbon impurities. For simpler hydrocarbons, such as alcahols, propane, methane, gasoline, etc. the products are usually as follows: H2O, CO2, CO, and C. The latter two are more likely to be formed by hydrocarbons with high C to H ratios, such as benzene (C6H6) or acetylene (C2H2). More complex molecules in plants and animals may also produce the following in addition to what is above: N2, O2, N2O, NO, NO2, N2O4, CaCO3, P4O10, SO3, and others I may have left out.
