Incomplete Combustion (1 Viewer)

[someth1ng]

Incomplete combustion can produce:
1. C+CO2+CO+H2O
2. C+CO+H2O (No CO2?)

Complete combustion produces:
1. CO2+H2O

Just need clarification: Incomplete combustion may OR may not produce CO2 but will produce CO and H2O.
True or False?

Cheers

incomplete combustion means not all reactants make CO2 and H2O

CO+CO2+H2O for example is incomplete

But does it ALWAYS produce CO2, CO AND CO2? Or can it just produce CO and H2O?

Not necessarily always, depends on the reactants. Some only produce CO and H2O or C and H2O, and others can include CO2 as part of their products. I've never come across any incomplete ones that also produce CO2 along with CO or C.

That answers my question, thanks.
