Answer:
When a compound burns it reacts with oxygen. Because of this we can predict what the products of the reaction will be. The oxygen will combine with each individual element in the compound.
Since hydrocarbon fuels only contain two elements, we always obtain the same two products when they burn. In the equation below methane (CH4) is being burned. The oxygen will combine with the carbon and the hydrogen in the methane molecule to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
C{H_4} + 2{O_2} \to C{O_2} + 2{H_2}O
The products from the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels can be identified with the following set up in the lab.
