Answer:

Explanation: so a combustion occurs when we react a substance with oxygen .you commonly call this "burning'' .therefore combustion will always include oxygen in the equation and the product will include carbon dioxide and give off water vapours

Therefore the general equation for a complete combustion reaction would be

Fuel + O2 ------ CO2 + H2O
