[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Water is the primary product of combustion? What about carbon monoxide?[/quote] There's usually more than 3 hydrogen atoms per carbon atom in most petroleum molecule chains. The exact number, bonding order, and chain shape depend on the compound itself, but the common theme is that there are far more hydrogen atoms than carbon, and when oxidized, there is far more H2O produced than any other compound, simply because of the abundance of H to begin with. Also, O has such a strong binding force that it will usually grab C in pairs, making CO2. CO is also produced, but only because all the available O has already been paired with H and C(paired) already. Only the O's without another O bind to C as a result of low thermal efficiency/incomplete combustion. They are a relatively small product of the process. [/quote]
