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.
If pure carbon is burnt, the only combustion product is carbon dioxide, so each molecule of oxygen in the combustion air becomes a molecule of carbon dioxide in the flue gas.This means that the stoichiometric combustion of carbon will produce 21% by volume CO2.
