Answer:
- Hydrocarbon fuels burn when they react with oxygen in the air. As all hydrocarbons only contain the elements carbon and hydrogen, the only products will be oxides of these elements. So as long as enough oxygen is present for complete combustion, the two products formed will be carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2O).
