Explanation / Answer

Combustion is the process of burning and oxidising a substance completely in the presence of oxygen .

When a hydrocarbon is burnt in oxygen (on combustion) the products are Carbon dioxide and water.

For example

C5H12 + 8 O2 -------> 5 CO2 + 6H2O

If a compound containing C,H and O is combusted , the products are same CO2 and H2O.

Q1) Thus the other reagent is O2 in combustion.

Q2) The products in combustion of organic compound are CO2 and H2O.
