Question

In faulty gas fires , incomplete combustion of methane occurs . Discuss the problems that can arise from this compared to a gas boiler that burns in complete combustion.
Your answer should include equations .

Answer 1

INCOMPLETE COMBUSTION

Explanation:

2CO + 8H2O + 2C -----> 4CH4 + 5O2  

Unfinished combustion is also a solution to oxygen and gasoline, but carbon monoxide, water and methane are the components. Incomplete combustion happens when a burning reaction takes place with no enough oxygen supply.

Failure of combustion is also avoided as it generates less energy as a whole and creates a toxic gas called carbon monoxide. Unfinished combustion may also generate uncertain and equipment-building pure carbon. Incomplete combustion of orange flames is characterized.
