What is the incomplete combustion formula for heptane?

[cavalieregi]

Could someone tell me what is the incomplete combustion formula for heptane?

[John Cuthber]

There isn't a single formula. How incomplete is incomplete?

[cavalieregi]

Complete Combustion of Hexane is: 2(C6H14) + 19O2 12CO2 + 14H2O + Energy

Incomplete Combustion of Hexane is: C6H14 + 5O2 CO2 + CO + 4C + 7H2O

Compete combustion of Heptane would yield CO₂but incomplete would yield CO.So Heptane and oxygen would give carbon monoxide and water in combustion reaction.

Complete Combustion of Hexane is: 2(C6H14) + 19O2 12CO2 + 14H2O + Energy Incomplete Combustion of Hexane is: C6H14 + 5O2 CO2 + CO + 4C + 7H2O

But what if you only gave it 4 O2 molecules?

What about some number between 4 and 19?
