(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the incomplete combustion reactions of butane has to be written.
Concept introduction:
In a balanced equation the number of atoms of each element as a reactant is equal to the number of atoms of that element as a product.
Coefficient is a number placed before a formula in a chemical equation.
A balanced equation should be obeying the law of conservation of mass. Law of conservation of mass states that, the number of atoms remains constant throughout the reaction, simply it can be stated as follows, “during a
In a combustion reaction, oxygen combines with a compound to form water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic which means they produce heat. If it is an incomplete combustion reaction, instead of carbon dioxide carbon monoxide will be the product.
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the incomplete combustion reactions of ethyl alcohol has to be written.
Concept introduction:
In a balanced equation the number of atoms of each element as a reactant is equal to the number of atoms of that element as a product.
Coefficient is a number placed before a formula in a chemical equation.
A balanced equation should be obeying the law of conservation of mass. Law of conservation of mass states that, the number of atoms remains constant throughout the reaction, simply it can be stated as follows, “during a chemical reaction atoms are neither be created nor be destroyed”.
In a combustion reaction, oxygen combines with a compound to form water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic which means they produce heat. If it is an incomplete combustion reaction, instead of carbon dioxide carbon monoxide will be the product.

- 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? Methane CH4 + 202 → CO2 + 2H2O Propane C3H3 +502 – → 3CO2+4H2O C10 H22 + 15.502 10CO2 + 11H20 Decane -arrow_forwardChange the structure in the drawing area to show the aldonic acid product formed if the compound is easily oxidized.
