Incomplete combustion

Incomplete combustion occurs when the supply of air or oxygen is poor. Water is still produced, but carbon monoxide and carbon are produced instead of carbon dioxide.

In general for incomplete combustion:

hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon monoxide + carbon + water

The carbon is released as soot. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, which is one reason why complete combustion is preferred to incomplete combustion. Gas fires and boilers must be serviced regularly to ensure they do not produce carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide is absorbed in the lungs and binds with the haemoglobin in our red blood cells. This reduces the capacity of the blood to carry oxygen.

Here are the equations for the incomplete combustion of propane, where carbon is produced rather than carbon monoxide:

propane + oxygen → carbon + water

C3H8 + 2O2 → 3C + 4H2O
