Combustion reactions are chemical reactions in which a fuel burns/reacts quickly with oxygen
the products of combustion depend on the availability (amount of ) oxygen present
Complete combustion: hydrocarbons(fossil fuels) burn completely to release the energy they contain and form water and carbon dioxide as their products
Hydrocarbon+oxygen->carbon dioxide + water + energy
During complete combustion fuels burn cleanly with no sooty residue.
Incomplete combustion: -if the amount of oxygen is limited, other products form, such as carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) and soot (made up of particles of carbon)
H2O+CO+C+CO2+energy
