5.06 - Combustion Reactions - 8:15

KEY CONCEPTS:-these reactions involve burning a hydrocarbon in the presence of oxygen. Hydrocarbons are compounds made by ONLY H and C atoms.2 Types of Combustion Reactions:i.) Complete Combustion (plenty of oxygen)ii.) Incomplete Combustion (poor supply of oxygen)Formulas for Combustion Reactions:i.) Complete CombustionC#H# + O2 --> CO2 + H2Oii.) Incomplete Combustion Reactions:C#H# + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + CO + C**notice the difference in the Incomplete Combustion reactions
