How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 84.4 moles of hexane is burned?
Balanced equation first, 2C6H14 + 19O2 >> 12CO2 + 14H2O 84.4 moles hexane (12 moles CO2/2 moles C6H14) = 506.4 moles of CO2
How can you calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the burning of an object?
This can be done precisely under certain conditions, but in practice things aren't so simple. You need to know the exact chemical formula of the thing being burned (this can be difficult if you are burning wood, for instance, which is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds). You also have to assume that the combustion is complete -- in other words that all hydrocarbons are completely converted into carbon dioxide and water, which is not always the case in normal burning situations. The actual reactions that occur while burning something are very complicated in fact, but to a close approximation, you can figure out the amount of CO2 produced in the following way:First, write the balance equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon. The reactants are the hydrocarbon itself and oxygen gas (O2). The products are carbon dioxide and water. See the Related Questions to the left for how to do this.Then use stoichiometry to figure out for a certain amount of hydrocarbon burned how much CO2 you will produce. See the Related Questions links to the left for how to do this also.See the Related Questions links to the left for detailed instructions on how to do each of these steps! Note that in both of the related questions, example problems have been worked out using the combustion of a hydrocarbon! Most of the work is done for you already! Just see the examples in the linked questions to the left.
What is a balanced chemical equation of if hexane combusts in the presence of oygen to form carbon dioxide and water?
Yes*. The empirical equation for this reaction is: 2C6H14 + 19O2 ---> 12CO2 + 14H2O. * n-Hexane, burned in an Iron III-catalyzed environment of pure oxygen gas, is oxidized completely. Intermediate products, such as peroxides are formed but the final products are carbon dioxide and water.

What is the energy released in the combustion of hexane?
Hexane - lower heating value at 15,4 0C: 44,752 MJ/kg (3 856,66 kg/mol)
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the complete combustion of 5.50 grams of hexane?
16.9
What is the word equation for burning petrol in an engine?
Hexane + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water - for full combustion Hexane + Oxygen -> Carbon + Carbon Monoxide + Water - for partial combustion
What mass of carbon dioxide can be produced from 25.0g of C6H14 and excess oxygen?
The gram molecular mass of hexane is 86.18. Therefore, 25.0 g of hexane constitute 25.0/86.18 or 0.290 moles. Each mole of hexane contains six carbon atoms and therefore will produce six molecules of carbon dioxide by burning in an excess of oxygen. 6 X 0.290 = 1.74 moles of carbon dioxide. The gram molecular mass of carbon dioxide is 44.00. Therefore, the mass of carbon dioxide produced will be 1.74 X 44.00 or 76.6 grams of carbon dioxide, to the justified number of significant digits.

If hexane was burned in a limited supply of oxygen the combustion would not be complete?
This depends on how much hexane was being burned and how much oxygen was present.Because the complete combustion of carbon involves placing two moles of oxygen on one mole of carbon plus the formation of water, you would need 19 moles of diatomic oxygen for every one mole of hexane.1 C6H14 + 19 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 7 H2O

Can hydrocarbons burn?
Burning is a combustion reaction where the substance being burned reacts with oxygen to form simpler products. For example, the combustion of hexane follows the following balanced reaction: 2C6H14 + 19O2 --> 12CO2 + 14H2O The complete combustion of simple hydrocarbons containing only carbon and hydrogen always produces carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion can also occur, where both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are formed in addition to water. Incomplete combustion is more likely to occur in oxygen poorer environments.
What is the energy released in the combustion of hexane?
Hexane - lower heating value at 15,4 0C: 44,752 MJ/kg (3 856,66 kg/mol)
What would happen if hexane is ignited?
If hexane is ignited, it will release Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). After that is released, the hexane will end up producing flames.
Hexane and oxygen gas as a reaction?
The outcome of the reaction is carbon dioxide and water
