    1. The document discusses complete and incomplete combustion reactions of hydrocarbons. 2. In complete combustion, excess oxygen is present and the reaction produces carbon dioxide and water. In incomplete combustion, there is insufficient oxygen which results in the production of carbon monoxide and/or carbon along with water. 3. The key difference between the two reactions is the amount of oxygen present - complete combustion occurs when there is enough oxygen, while incomplete combustion occurs when oxygen is limited.

    Introduction
    A combustion reaction is a major class of chemical reactions, commonly referred to
    as "burning." Combustion usually occurs when a substance reacts with oxygen and
    releases a huge amount of energy in the form of light and heat.
    A combustion reaction always has oxygen as one reactant. The second reactant is
    always a hydrocarbon, which is a compound made up of carbon and hydrogen. A
    combustion reaction also always produces CO2 and H2O.
    General Form of a Combustion Reaction :
    hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
    Examples of Combustion Reactions:
    • Combustion of methane:
    CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)

    4
    • Burning of naphthalene:
    C10H8 + 12 O2 → 10 CO2 + 4 H2O
    • Combustion of ethane
    2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
    There are two types of combustion reaction –
    i. Complete combustion reaction.
    ii. Incomplete combustion reaction.

    i.Complete combustion reaction: Also called "clean combustion", Complete


    combustion needs a plentiful supply of air so that the elements in the fuel react
    fully with oxygen.
     Reaction condition:
    Excess oxygen gas is present to react.
    Complete Combustion Reaction

     Reaction products : Carbon dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O)


     Observation : Hydrocarbon combusts (burns) with a clean flame.

    • In general, for complete combustion:


    hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water

    • Here are the equations for the complete combustion of propane, used in bottled
    gas:
    propane + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water
    C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
    Incomplete Combustion Reaction
    ii. Incomplete combustion reaction : Also called "dirty combustion", Incomplete
    combustion occurs when the supply of air or oxygen is poor. Water is still produced,
    but carbon monoxide and carbon are produced instead of carbon dioxide.
     Reaction condition:
    Insufficient oxygen gas is present.
     Reaction products : Water (H2O), Carbon monoxide (CO) and/or Carbon (C).
     Observation : Hydrocarbon combusts (burns) with a smokey or sooty flame .

    • In general for incomplete combustion:


    hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon monoxide + carbon + water

    • Here are the equations for the incomplete combustion of propane, where carbon
    is produced rather than carbon monoxide:
    propane + oxygen → carbon + water
    C3H8 + 2O2 → 3C + 4H2O
    Difference between Complete Combustion and Incomplete
    Combustion
    • Oxidant
    Complete combustion occurs when there is a sufficient and adequate supply of the oxidant, while
    incomplete combustion occurs when there is an insufficient and inadequate supply of the oxidant.
    • Hydrocarbon combustion
    Complete combustion of hydrocarbons will result in the production of carbon dioxide and water,
    while an incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons will result in the production of carbon monoxide
    and water.
    • Flame
    In incomplete combustion a yellow or orange flame is usually produced while in complete
    combustion a blue flame is produced.
    • Smoke
    Incomplete combustion produces smoke as a result of the reaction, while complete combustion does
    not produce smoke as a result of the reaction.
