Complete Versus Incomplete Combustion

 So there is something we call a complete combustion and the other a dirty combustion. Fuel such as petrol or methane, etc can undergo complete or incomplete combustion. When methane completes a complete combustion it produces carbon dioxide and water. When methane goes through an incomplete under a limited amount of air it produces carbon monoxide and water or carbon or water.

What is Combustion?
There are many types of combustion. But I believe the most known one is the combustion with methane which is the one I put above.  Combustion can also be called burning. Combustion is an exothermic reaction which means it gives out heat.


Reaction above is a combustion reaction.
This the formula CH4 + 2O4 -----> CO2+ 2H2O
* In order to know if a formula is perfectly balanced you need to know that there are the exact number of molecules on the reactant side as there are on the product side. The change of energy is different but the number of molecules on each side have to stay the same.

This formula is perfectly balanced.

In order for the combustion to occur it needs to react with Methane and Oxygen. This is one example of the reactions there are many more which I am going site below;

• "burning of naphthalene
  C₁₀H₈ + 12 O₂ → 10 CO₂ + 4 H₂O
• combustion of ethane
  2 C₂H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
• combustion of butane (commonly found in lighters)
• 2C₄H₁₀(g) +13O₂(g) → 8CO₂(g) +10H₂O(g)
• combustion of methanol (also known as wood alcohol)
  2CH₃OH(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g)
• combustion of propane (used in gas grills and fireplaces)
  2C₃H₈(g) + 7O₂(g) → 6CO₂(g) + 8H₂O(g)":

• Sited above is the different types of combustions.
• Combustions are cool
