Give the name and use of the compound produced during the incomplete combustion of an alkane.

(N/A) Carbon black is obtained during the incomplete combustion of alkanes in the presence of a limited amount of dioxygen.
Carbon black is used in the preparation of black ink,printer ink,and black pigments. It is also used as a filler in rubber and other materials.
The chemical reaction for the incomplete combustion of methane is: $CH_{4(g)} + O_{2(g)} \xrightarrow{\text{Incomplete combustion}} C_{(s)} + 2H_{2}O_{(l)}$
For general alkanes,the reaction is: $\text{Alkane} + O_{2} \xrightarrow{\text{Incomplete combustion}} CO + H_{2}O$
