Soot (carbon) and carbon monoxide - as opposed to full combustion which results in water and carbon dioxide
If refering to hydrocarbons, complete combustion is carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion may include any other compounds, e.g. carbon, carbon monoxide, aldehydes, acids, peroxides...
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.
Yes, oxygen is used as a reactant in combustion reactions and is often depleted during the process as it combines with other elements to form combustion products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor. These combustion products contain the oxygen atoms that were part of the original reactant.
Complete combustion of methane in a gas fire produces carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are harmless. However, incomplete combustion can lead to the release of carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas that can be harmful or fatal if inhaled. Incomplete combustion can also result in the production of soot and particulate matter, which can accumulate in the chimney or on surfaces, potentially causing respiratory issues and contributing to air pollution. The presence of unburned methane in incomplete combustion can increase the risk of fire or explosion due to the buildup of flammable gas in enclosed spaces. Incomplete combustion can lead to the formation of nitrogen oxides, which are pollutants that contribute to smog and acid rain, impacting both human health and the environment. The inefficiency of incomplete combustion can result in wasted energy, leading to higher fuel consumption and increased greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change.
Soot particles are formed from diesel exhaust through incomplete combustion of fuel, where carbon-rich particles are emitted instead of being fully burned. This incomplete combustion can be caused by factors such as insufficient oxygen supply, improper fuel-to-air ratio, and high engine loads. Soot particles can then accumulate and be released into the air as part of diesel exhaust emissions.

The products of a combustion reaction typically include carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), along with heat energy. If the combustion is incomplete, other by-products like carbon monoxide (CO) or soot may be formed.
imcomplete combustion
carbon result of incomplete combustion.
The products of burning hydrocarbons are primarily carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). Incomplete combustion can also result in the release of carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter, and various other pollutants depending on the specific hydrocarbon being burned.
Given enough oxygen, hydrocarbons will completely combust to release water and carbon dioxide as products: Example: C2H4 + 3O2 ------> 2H2O + 2CO2The product molecules created in the combustion of hydrocarbons are carbon dioxide and water.
Hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen
Incomplete combustion happens when insufficient O2 is available. Complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O Complete combustion results in the formation of just carbon dioxide and water, neither of which is toxic. Incomplete combustion: CH4 + O2 --> C + H2O or 2CH4 + 3O2 --> 2CO + 4H2O or any other reaction forming C, CO and maybe some CO2 or any combination of them. Incomplete combustion results in the formation of CO (carbon monoxide) which is highly toxic &/or C (plain old carbon, otherwise known as soot), which is very dirty.
Complete combustion will result in the production of CO2 and H2O.
That's correct. Combustion reactions can produce other products in addition to water and carbon dioxide, depending on the specific fuel and conditions of the reaction. For example, incomplete combustion can result in the formation of carbon monoxide or soot, while combustion of sulfur-containing fuels can produce sulfur dioxide.
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.
Carbon monoxide is not the result of a complete combustion.Carbon monoxide is made when hydrocarbons are burnt in low amount of oxygen. That means when partial combustion is happened. Carbon monoxide is harmful to the animals.
