When a fuel is burnt, carbon dioxide (carbon monoxide) and water vapour are given out. Can you name one fuel which burns without giving off water vapour ? Why does it not give out water ?

the fuel which doesn't gives water vapour when it is burned is coke which is the purest form of carbon.it has high cabon content and low amount of hydrocarbons.
normally water vapour is given off when there is presence of hydrogen in a given fuel and coke has very low hydrogen content .therfore water vapour is not given out it simply gives carbon dioxide on burning.
C+O2----->CO2
