Why do jets leave a white trail behind them.

If jet fuel is full of water, how do you get it to burn? When I took
chemistry, hydrocarbon fuels contained .... drum roll please ... carbon
and hydrogen. No water of any level of significance.

Combustion leaves some hydrogen unclaimed, and the oxygen is really happy to
claim it, and when it combines two H's, and one O, you get water.
Weren't awake during that day of chemistry, were you, Matt? g
