In the incomplete combustion of acetylene with oxygen, water and carbon monoxide are formed, rather than carbon dioxide which is formed in the complete combustion. So the balanced equation for the incomplete combustion is:
2C2H2 + 3O2 → 4CO + 2H2O
And the balanced equation for the complete combustion is:

from 3 rations of C2H2:O2, determine which has the most complete
combustion reaction using balanced chemical reactions. the three
ratios are: 100:0, 5:1 and 1.7:1
