John Cuthber Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 There isn't a single formula. How incomplete is incomplete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavalieregi Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Complete Combustion of Hexane is: 2(C6H14) + 19O2 12CO2 + 14H2O + Energy Incomplete Combustion of Hexane is: C6H14 + 5O2 CO2 + CO + 4C + 7H2O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayesha Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Compete combustion of Heptane would yield CO2but incomplete would yield CO.So Heptane and oxygen would give carbon monoxide and water in combustion reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about some number between 4 and 19? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
