Flashcards

Combustion

A chemical reaction where fuel rapidly reacts with oxygen, producing oxides (like carbon dioxide) and energy. Think of burning wood for a campfire.

Complete Combustion

When all the fuel burns completely with enough oxygen, producing only carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Think of a blue flame on a gas stove.

Incomplete Combustion

When there isn't enough oxygen for the fuel to burn fully, producing carbon monoxide, carbon, carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Think of a flickering orange flame.

Carbon Monoxide

A dangerous, odorless, colorless gas produced by incomplete combustion. It can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, and breathing problems. Think of car exhaust in a closed garage.

Study Notes

Combustion

Combustion is a rapid chemical reaction between a fuel and oxygen, producing oxides and energy.
Two types of combustion exist: complete and incomplete.

Complete Combustion

Complete combustion uses all the fuel, producing only carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
This requires an abundant oxygen supply.
A key reaction is: Hydrocarbon(CxHy) + Oxygen (O2) → Carbon Dioxide (CO2) + Water (H₂O) + Energy

Incomplete Combustion

Incomplete combustion occurs with limited oxygen supply.
Often indicated by an orange flickering flame.
Products include carbon monoxide, carbon, carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
Visible soot indicates incomplete combustion, leading to pollution and energy waste.
A key reaction is: Hydrocarbon(CxHy) + Oxygen(O₂) → Carbon monoxide(CO) + carbon(C) + carbon dioxide(CO₂) + water (H₂O)+ energy

Dangers of Incomplete Combustion

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, odorless, and colorless gas.
Symptoms of CO poisoning include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and respiratory problems.
These symptoms can be mistaken for other illnesses.
CO is often produced by incomplete combustion of fuels in enclosed spaces, like a car engine running in a closed garage.
