Question

Name the compounds formed during the combustion of a hydrocarbon. Write an equation as an example.

Solution

The compounds formed during the combustion of a hydrocarbon are carbon dioxide and water. Hydrocarbons burn and react with the oxygen present in the air to form carbon dioxide and water along with the generation of a huge amount of energy. Thus, these hydrocarbons are used as fuels. Let us consider an example of the hydrocarbon methane and write the chemical equation involved in its combustion reaction.

${CH}_{4} + 2 O_{2} \to {CO}_{2} + H_{2} O + Heat$
