Congratulations to Angus Deaton, 2015 winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics. Professor Deaton, of Princeton University, was the President of the AEA in 2009. Read more from the Nobel Foundation.
Complete combustion (given sufficient oxygen) of any hydrocarbon produces carbon dioxide and water. Equations. It is quite important that you can write properly balanced equations for these reactions, because they often come up as a part of thermochemistry calculations.
Combustion, better known as burning, is the combination of a substance with oxygen. The products are carbon dioxide, water, and possible other waste products. Combustion reactions release large amounts of heat. C 3 H 8, better known as propane, undergoes combustion. The balanced equation is: Combustion is similar to a decomposition reaction, except that oxygen and heat are required for it to occur. If there is not enough oxygen, the reaction may not occur. Sometimes, with limited oxygen, the reaction will occur, but it produces carbon monoxide (CO) or even soot.
