==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
[[Incomplete Combustion]] is when a [[fuel]] burns without sufficient [[Oxygen]] to fully [[oxidise]] all the [[atom]]s within the [[compound]].

===About Incomplete Combustion===
: '''Incomplete combustion''' happens when there is not enough [[Oxygen]].
: [[Complete Combustion]] should [[product|produce]] only [[Water]] and [[Carbon Dioxide]].
: '''Incomplete combustion''' leads to the [[product|production]] of [[Soot]] and [[Carbon Monoxide]].
: The following are [[example]]s of '''incomplete combustion''' [[Chemical Reaction|reactions]]:
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Soot]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>CH4 + O2 -> C + 2H2O</chem>

: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>2CH4 + 3O2 -> 2CO + 4H2O</chem>

: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Soot]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>2C2H6 + 3O2 -> 4C + 6H2O</chem>

: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: <chem>2C2H6 + 5O2 -> 4CO + 6H2O</chem>

: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Soot]] + [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
