• substance reacts with oxygen gas
• Complete combustions

  • lots of oxygen
  • "excessive" or excess"
  • carbon dioxide
• Incomplete Combustions

  • lacks oxygen
  • "limited"
  • carbon monoxide
• -ane

  = CnH2n+2
• -ene

  CnH2n
• -yne

  =CnH2n-2
• 1 - Meth
• 2- Eth
• Prop - 3
• But - 4
• pent - 5
• hex - 6
• hept - 7
• oct - 8
• Non - 9
• Dec - 10
• Complete combustion formula

  
  

  -ane / ene / yne + oxygen (excess) → carbon dioxide + water
• Incomplete combustion formula

  -ane / ene / yne + oxygen (limited) → carbon monoxide + water
