Question

what is the major difference between burning of a fuel with sufficient and insufficient oxygen​

Answer 1

Answer:

Combustion is actually a scientific term for burning. We are all aware of burning, but did you know that burning is actually a chemical reaction? Combustion is a chemical process where any fuel has a reaction with air (oxidant) to produce heat energy.

And when this heat energy release it will also produce light in the form of a flame. This is the visible part of the reaction, the flames. The general exothermic reaction of combustion can be expressed as:

Hydrocarbon + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Heat Energy

Examples of Combustion

Burning of Wood or Coal to heat your home

Burning of Petrol or Diesel to run your Car

Combustion of Natural Gas or LPG to cook for on your stovetop

For the production of energy in thermal power plants

Fireworks

Answer 2

The difference between complete & Incomplete combustion is when the supply of air or oxygen is poor . Water is still produced, but carbon monoxide and carbon are produced instead of carbon dioxide. ... Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas, which is one reason why complete combustion is preferred to incomplete combustion.
