Study Notes
Complete Combustion
- Complete combustion is a reaction where all fuel is used, producing only carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- This reaction requires a plentiful supply of oxygen.
- The general chemical equation for complete combustion is: CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Energy.
Incomplete Combustion
- Incomplete combustion occurs when the oxygen supply is limited.
- Incomplete combustion is indicated by an orange flickering flame.
- Products of incomplete combustion include carbon monoxide, carbon, carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- Visible soot is a sign of incomplete combustion, leading to pollutant release and energy waste.
- The general chemical equation for incomplete combustion is: CxHy + O2 → CO + C + CO2 + H2O + Energy.
