Question

Depending on the condition hydrocarbon fuels can burn to form carbon carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide explain why this is so

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydrocarbon fuels can undergo complete combustion or incomplete combustion, depending on the amount of oxygen available. Complete combustion happens when there is a good supply of air. Carbon and hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon fuel react with oxygen in an exothermic reaction: carbon dioxide and water are produced.
