Q. The final product of complete oxidation of hydrocarbons is

Hydrocarbons

Solution:

$\underset{\text{Methane}}{CH_4}+2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$
$\underset{\text{Ethane}}{C_2H_4} + 3O_2 \rightarrow 2CO_2 + 2H_2O$
All hydrocarbons saturated or unsaturated on complete combustion always produce $C O_2$ and $H_2O$.
