- when hydrocarbon fuels are burned in plenty of ai, the carbon and hydrogen in the fuel are completely oxidised, they produce carbon dioxide and water
- can test the gases formed in complete combustion of a hydrocarbon:
the carbon dioxide turns limewater cloudy, water turns blue cobalt, chloride paper pink
- incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon produces carbon monoixde (a toxic gas) as one of its products
