Answer 1

Explanation:

↓↓Answer:-

• Since hydrocarbon fuels only contain two elements, we always obtain the same two products when they burn. In the equation below methane (CH 4) is being burned. The oxygen will combine with the carbon and the hydrogen in the methane molecule to produce carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2O).

Answer 2

Whenever we complete a combustion reaction a hydrocarbon (compound of C and H) there are generally the same products formed: CO2 and H2O. The fuel you burn in your car's engine contains octane, C8H18. When octane is burned, the products are CO2 and H2O. The key ingredient to the process is the availability of oxygen.
