Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The balance equation for the incomplete combustion of benzene should be written.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds consist of carbon and hydrogen is known as hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are classified as saturated hydrocarbon and unsaturated hydrocarbon. Saturated hydrocarbons are those hydrocarbons in which carbon-carbon single bond is present as carbon is linked with four atoms.
Unsaturated hydrocarbon is known as
The
When oxygen is present in limited amount then the combustion is known as incomplete combustion and obtained products during incomplete combustion are carbon monoxide gas and water vapor.
A reaction is said to be balanced, if the
