What are the two products from the complete combustion of an alkane?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The complete combustion of an alkane produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the two products. This reaction is often used to produce energy (in the form of heat) in combustion engines, such as those found in cars and airplanes. Option A is incorrect because if incomplete combustion of an alkane occurs, it can produce carbon monoxide (CO). Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the reaction is incomplete as water is not produced. Option C is incorrect because it does not include water in the products, which is always produced by the combustion of hydrocarbons.
