Incomplete combustion involves the generation of carbon monoxide in addition to carbon dioxide and water generated in complete combustion. Carbon monoxide is highly toxic. While carbon dioxide is produced by the body itself and can only kill if at a very high concentration (7% to 10% of air by volume) or by depriving the victim of oxygen for prolonged periods of time, carbon monoxide is not a physiological gas and can kill at low concentrations (0.32% of air by volume) and in a relatively short amount of time (less than 30 minutes). The toxicity of carbon monoxide is believed to be involved in compromising the ability of hemoglobin and myoglobin to transfer and store oxygen and disabling cellular respiration through blocking cytochrome oxidase.

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.
How is the poisonous gas formed when butane undergoes incomplete combustion?
When butane undergoes incomplete combustion, there is not enough oxygen present to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the end products. Instead, carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon particles (soot) are produced. The presence of carbon monoxide in the combustion process is what makes it dangerous and poisonous.
A word group that makes up an incomplete thought is called?
A word group that makes up an incomplete thought is called a sentence fragment. It lacks either a subject, a verb, or both and does not express a complete idea on its own.
What is the temperature that the Bunsen burner can go up to with the blue flame?
A Bunsen burner can reach temperatures of approximately 1,500 degrees Celsius (2,732 degrees Fahrenheit) when producing a blue flame. The blue flame indicates complete combustion of the gas, resulting in a hotter flame compared to the yellow flame produced by incomplete combustion. This high temperature makes it suitable for various laboratory applications and heating tasks.
Color of flame in a complete combustion of gas from Bunsen burner?
When the air hole is covered on the Bunsen Burner its oxygen supply is made smaller. This makes the flame turn YELLOW - This is considered to be the safety flame as it is the most visible to the eye and it radiates less heat. When the Bunsen burners air hole is fully open there is a super heated blue flame which is the product of complete combustion. Hope this helped :)

What means complete and incomplete . what are the examples of the complete and incomplete flower?
complete means that a flower has all the five parts i.e androecium,gynoecium,sepals ,petals and thalamus.....These five things makes a flower complete, if anyone thing or part is absent then it is known as incomplete... Ex:China flower is a complete flower. Cranium is an incomplete flower as it doesnot have petals,instead tepals are presnt...
What is having an incomplete grammatical construction?
An incomplete grammatical construction is a series of words, phrases, or clauses that do not constitute a complete sentence. A complete sentence has a subject and a verb, and does not contain an introductory adverb, pronoun, or other word that makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense. Some examples: Complete sentence: John hit me. Incomplete sentence: when John hit me...[This depends on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: When John hit me, I hit him back. Complete sentence: Who is good? [The fact that it's a question makes it complete.] Incomplete sentence: who is good [The fact that it's not a question makes it depend on a complete sentence to make sense.] Complete sentence: A boy who is good will not go to the principle's office every so often. Other incomplete sentences: at at the bank feeling confused at the bank who is feeling confused at the bank because I was feeling confused at the bank Complete sentence: I left because I was feeling confused at the bank.

What makes at hens so dangerous?
Once Athena has a goal, she sticks to it until it is complete.
What makes an incomplete sentence into a complete sentence?
For a sentence to be complete, it must have a subject and a verb. Giving the incomplete sentence the missing parts will make it complete.For example:"Went to the park" can be made complete by adding a subject to make it "We went to the park""It blue" can be made complete by adding a verb to make it "It is blue""The moon tonight" can be made complete by adding a subject and a verb to make it "I looked at the moon tonight"
What is the opposite of complete with a prefix?
The prefix un- makes the word "unsuitable."

Why must the charge in combustion chamber be compressed before ignition?
Compressing the charge in the combustion chamber increases its temperature, which makes it easier to ignite. A higher compression ratio generates more power and efficiency in the engine by ensuring a more complete combustion of the fuel-air mixture. Additionally, compression helps to create a stable flame front for consistent and efficient combustion.
