Question

What are the major products produced in the combustion of C10H22 under the following conditions? Write balanced chemical equations for each. a. An excess of oxygen b. A slightly limited oxygen supply c. A very limited supply of oxygen d. The compound is burned in air

Answer 1

Answer: The chemical reactions are given below.

Explanation:

Combustion reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide gas and water molecule.

$\text{hydrocarbon}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O$

If supply of oxygen gas is limited, it is known as incomplete combustion and carbon monoxide gas is also produced as a product.

• For a: An excess of oxygen

Here, complete combustion reaction takes place. The chemical equation follows:

$2C_{10}H_{22}+31O_2\rightarrow 20CO_2+22H_2O$

• For b: A slightly limited oxygen supply

Here, incomplete combustion takes place and carbon monoxide is also formed.

$C_{10}H_{22}+13O_2\rightarrow 5CO+5CO_2+11H_2O$

• For c: A very limited supply of oxygen

Here, incomplete combustion takes place and only carbon monoxide with water are formed as the products.

$2C_{10}H_{22}+21O_2\rightarrow 20CO+22H_2O$

• For d: The compound is burned in air

When a compound is burned in air, it means that unlimited supply of oxygen is there. So, complete combustion reaction takes place and carbon dioxide gas is formed as a product.

$2C_{10}H_{22}+31O_2\rightarrow 20CO+22H_2O$

Hence, the chemical reactions are given below.
