Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The product formed in combustion reaction of ethane
Concept Introduction:
Hydrocarbon combustion reaction:
The hydrocarbon compound reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water as product is known as hydrocarbon combustion reaction. It is an exothermic reaction. The hydrocarbon compounds are generally organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen element. The compounds such as
The general equation is given as,
Where,
- x represents the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon
- y represents the number of carbon atoms present in the hydrocarbon
- N represents the number of oxygen atoms requires in the hydrocarbon combustion reaction
(b)
Interpretation
The balanced equation for incomplete combustion of ethane
Concept Introduction:
Chemical equation:
In chemical equation, the substance reacts (reactant) to give products. The number of atoms present in reactant side should be equal to the number of atom present in the product side.

- Write a balanced equation for the incomplete combustion of hexane, assuming theformation of carbon monoxide and water as the productarrow_forwardhow many grams of O2 required for the combustion of 22.9 g of ethylcylopentane?arrow_forwardGlucose, C6H12O6, contains an aldehyde group but exist predominantly in the form of the cyclic hemiacetal show below. A cyclic hemiacetal is formed when the —OH group of one carbon bonds to the carbonyl group of another carbon. Identify which carbon provides the —OH group and which provides the —CHO? Give a functional isomer of glucose and draw its structure.arrow_forward
