Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + WaterIf you burn a hydrocarbon, the carbon and hydrogen will react
with oxygen in the air to form CO2 and H20
Complete
Exothermic reaction
Hydrogen and carbon are oxidised to from water vapour and
CO2
Energy is given out, more than incomplete combustion
When there is insufficient oxygen in the air, hydrocarbons
undergo incomplete combustion
Carbon (soot) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) are produced
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon Dioxide + Carbon Monoxide + Combustion of
Water
Hydrocarbon + Oxygen --> Carbon dioixde + soot + Water
Lack of oxygen can lead to frainting
Carbon Monoxide
Can bind with red blood cells and stop blood from working
Incomplete
Binds to haemoglobin so less oxygen can be carried
Tiny Particles can be released into the atmostphere
