What is the liquid that comes out of an exhaust?

The liquid is water, a byproduct of the combustion process. A simplified chemical formula for this would be: Hydrocarbon fuel + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water. Usually the water goes out the exhaust as a vapour, however it can condense into a liquid if the environment or surface of the exhaust is cold enough.
