The unsaturated hydrocarbons are mor tangled up so it's harder for the oxygen to get in and break the bonds. Because of this some large sections of the hydrocarbon floats up before being broken, making the flame sooty.

The two by-products of complete combustion are?

In all combustion reactions (other than H2 with O2) CO2(g) and H2O(g) will be produced. CO would NOT be produced, as we are talking about COMPLETE combustion. Why can't the products be in a form of an oxide and a compound gas?


When the carbon atoms in hydrocarbon molecules are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible is an unsaturated hydrocarbon is produced?

No, when the carbon atoms in hydrocarbon molecules are bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as possible, a saturated hydrocarbon is produced. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have carbon-carbon double or triple bonds, resulting in fewer hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon atoms.


What is produced from incomplete combustion natural gas?

Incomplete combustion of natural gas primarily produces carbon monoxide (CO), along with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). It may also generate unburned hydrocarbons and particulate matter. The presence of carbon monoxide is particularly concerning due to its toxic effects on human health when inhaled. Additionally, incomplete combustion can lead to energy loss and increased emissions compared to complete combustion.


Which gas is produced while burning thermocol?

When the combustion is complete 99 % of polystyrene is transformed in carbon dioxide and water.


How are the incomplete and complete combustion reactions different?

In complete combustion, all the reactants will be converted into carbon dioxide and water. In incomplete combustion, some of the reactants will be converted to carbon dioxide, some will become carbon monoxide, and some may not react at all. Quite often incomplete combustion will result in a "sooty" flame.

What products are formed from the complete reaction of hydrocarbons or carbohydrates with oxygen?

The complete reaction of hydrocarbons or carbohydrates with oxygen forms carbon dioxide and water vapor as products. This process is known as combustion and is exothermic, releasing energy in the form of heat and light.


What can you use in a spirit burner that does not smell?

Most of the hydrocarbons used in spirit burners are very aromatic not least because a spirit burner does not allow for complete combustion of longer chained molecules such as petrol or paraffin.If you were to use a smaller chained fuel such as methanol or ethanol there will be more complete combustion and less aromatic waste produced.

The answer is 24,15 g.


What products are produced in a complete combustion of natural gas?

The products produced in a complete combustion of natural gas are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). This process releases energy in the form of heat and light.


How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of propane is: C3H8 + 5 O2 -> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O. This means that 5 moles of oxygen are required to completely combust 1 mole of propane. Therefore, 20 moles of oxygen would be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane.


What class of organic compound is produced by the dehydration of an alcohol?

The dehydration of an alcohol produces an organic compound called an alkene. Alkenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons that contain a carbon-carbon double bond.


When is flame produced?

A non luminous flame is produced when the air valve is opened enough to allow complete combustion of the methane gas.


Which colour of flame is produced when complete combustion of fuel takes place?

violet or purple colour

What is produced when hydrocarbons react with oxygen?

When hydrocarbons react with oxygen, they undergo combustion to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) as the main products. This chemical reaction releases energy in the form of heat and light.
