combustion reaction
A combustion reaction is a major class of chemical reactions. Combustion usually occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with water to produce carbon dioxide and water
General Form of a Combustion Reaction
hydrocarbon + oxygen → carbon dioxde + waterExamples of Combustion Reactions
- combustion of methane
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g - burning of naphthalene
C10H8 + 12 O2 → 10 CO2 + 4 H2O - combustion of ethane
2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O
They forgot the coefficient for the combustion of ethane which has a coefficient of 2 in front.
