← ScienceWhich consequence results when nonane undergoes incomplete combustion?
A)Solid carbon particulate forms (soot)✓
B)Increased ozone layer depletion rate
C)Nitrogen oxides production increases
D)Reduced overall energy released
💡 Explanation
Incomplete combustion leads to insufficient oxygen for full oxidation; therefore, solid carbon (soot) is formed due to pyrolysis of the hydrocarbon, rather than complete conversion to CO2, because it favors the formation of other oxidation products, when oxygen availability decreases.
