Complete & Incomplete Combustion - GCSE Chemistry | KayScience

In this video, you will learn:

Complete combustion is when a hydrocarbon burns in plenty of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water, giving out energy. Incomplete combustion is when a hydrocarbon burns in a limited supply of oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and soot. In combustion, hydrogen is always oxidised first forming water. If there is a plentiful supply of oxygen, carbon will then be oxidised to form carbon dioxide. If there is a limited supply of oxygen, carbon monoxide will form. If there is an even less oxygen being supplied, pure carbon will form, also known as soot.

One of the best lecture sir. Thankyou 🙏

@3:50 when there are 2 carbon & 2 oxygen atoms remaining, how do we know they combine to form 2CO and not C + CO2?
