Alcohols and Carboxylic
Acids
, Combustion of alkanes and alkenes
Propane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water
C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Incomplete combustion will occur when there is not enough oxygen readily
available
Incomplete combustion is dangerous as carbon monoxide may be produced.
This is dangerous as it reduces the body’s capacity to carry oxygen
