Detailed explanation-1: -Combustion, or burning, is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.
Detailed explanation-2: -In stoichiometric combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel, the fuel is reacted with the exact amount of oxygen required to oxidize all carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur in the fuel to CO2, H2O, and SO2.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrocarbon fuels burn when they react with oxygen in the air. As all hydrocarbons only contain the elements carbon and hydrogen, the only products will be oxides of these elements. So as long as enough oxygen is present for complete combustion, the two products formed will be carbon dioxide (CO 2) and water (H 2O).
