Hydrocarbons with 5 carbons (pentane) and 19 carbons (nonadecane) are liquids
at room temperature. The molecules with 8, 9, and 10-carbons are "octane",
"nonane", and "decane" and are common components of gasoline. The image
below shows chemical equations for the combustion of the simplest
hydrocarbon methane, 3-carbon propane, and 10-carbon decane. As you can
see, the products are always carbon dioxide and water, just in larger amounts for
larger hydrocarbons. Question: how many carbon dioxide molecules are formed
from combustion of one molecule of decane?
