Question

Incomplete combustion of carbon is due to insufficient amount of air (oxygen) and leads to the formation of carbon monoxide (CO).

• A. True

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Complete combustion of carbon results in the formation of carbon dioxide ($C{O}_2$) whereas the formation of carbon monoxide (CO) takes place due to incomplete combustion. Insufficient amount of air (oxygen) makes the combustion incomplete.
