Combustion without hydrogen Is there any fuels without hydrogen that will combust. My friend believes there might be and do to my experience I have never heard of one. Please explain and if u can show a balanced equation of this combustion.
A combustion reaction is classified as a reaction between a fuel and oxygen to produce energy. The reaction: 2CO(g) + O2(g) = 2CO2(g) fulfills this definition, is exothermic, and does not use hydrogen.
