In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burnsto form water and carbondioxide. When not enough oxygen is presentfor complete combustion, incomplete combustion occurswhen propane burns and forms water, carbon monoxide, carbondioxide,and carbon. Unlike natural gas, propane is heavierthan air (1.5 times as dense).
Also, what is an example of incomplete combustion?
Incomplete Combustion - Also called "dirtycombustion", incomplete combustion is hydrocarbonoxidation that produces carbon monoxide and/or carbon (soot) inaddition to carbon dioxide. An example of incompletecombustion would be burning coal, where a lot of soot andcarbon monoxide is released.
Subsequently, question is, what are the products of incomplete combustion?
Incomplete combustion is also a reaction betweenoxygen and fuel but the products are carbon monoxide, waterand carbon. Incomplete combustion occurs when acombustion reaction occurs without a sufficient supply ofoxygen.
Definition: A reaction or process which entailsonly partial burning of a fuel. This may be due to a lack of oxygenor low temperature, preventing the complete chemical reaction.Carbon monoxide is produced as a byproduct from incompletecombustion of carbon.
