Question

Complete and balance the following equation describing the complete combustion of several hydrocarbons,

a.) C₂H₁₀ (l) + O₂ (g)  →

b.) C₆H₁₄ (l) + O₂ (g)   →

c.) C₈H₁₀ (I) + O₂ (g)  →

d.) C₉H₁₂ (l) + O_{2 (g)} →

Answer 1

Combustion to mean the reaction of oxygen with an compound containing carbon and hydrogen. The general balanced combustion reaction isC,H The balanced combustion reaction of C,H1, is CH+(2+,03-200,+19 ,0 =CH.+03—200, +54,0 Multiply with 2 =2C,H1, +90,–*400, +101,0 The balanced combustion reaction of C,Huis 2 CH10 ()+90,(8)— *400,($)+10H2011) The balanced combustion reaction of CH4is CH,+(4+)0,—-400,+,0 =CH, +03—4CO2+7H20 Multiply with 2 = 2CH.4 +150, 800, +14 H,0 The balanced combustion reaction of C,H,is 2C,H14 7)+150,(8)– >800,(g)+14 H,01). 4 21 The balanced combusti on reaction of CH, is CH,,+(8+20,03—5800, +20 4,0 =C,H+203—5800,+S 8,0 Multiply with 2 = 2C,H10 +210,—1600, +10 H,0 The balanced combustion reaction of C,H, is 2 CH1, ())+210,(8) >16C02(g)+10 H,0(!). The balanced combustion reaction of C,H, is CH,+(+12,03—1900,+928,0 =C,H,2 +120,—>900, +6 H,0 The balanced combustion reaction of C,H2 is C,H22 (1)+120,(9)— 9C02(g)+6 H,001).
