What happens when hydrocarbon burns in the air?

Burning hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen (O2) produces carbon dioxide (Co2) and water (H2O). If there is too much carbon or too little oxygen present when hydrocarbons are burned, carbon monoxide (CO) may also be emitted. read more

Burning hydrocarbons in the presence of oxygen (O2) produces carbon dioxide (Co2) and water (H2O). If there is too much carbon or too little oxygen present when hydrocarbons are burned, carbon monoxide (CO) may also be emitted. Sometimes unburned hydrocarbons are released into the air during incomplete combustion. read more
