Combustion (co)

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between gaseous propane and gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water.

C₃H₈ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 3 CO₂ (g) + 4 H₂O (g)

The reaction between an organic compound and oxygen to produce a compound of carbon and water is known as a combustion reaction. If the product is CO₂, the combustion is complete. If the product is CO or C, the combustion is incomplete.
