Polyethylene (polythene) is a waxy solid polymer formed from ethylene gas monomer under high temperature and pressures.
For US audiences, "polythene" is how Those Wacky Brits say "polyethylene". The American term is obviously far superior, since it immediately suggests a synthesis route: to get polyethylene, you polymerize ethylene.
Just like any hydrocarbon, Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor will be produced, by burning polythene.
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide mostly
polythene is a polymer of ethene. polythene primary while synthesis is a waxy solid, but it is made into transparent form by processing. The waxy solid which is the pure polythene burns in oxygen at elevated temperature to give carbon dioxide and water. but the processed polythene which we use in our daily lives, will burn in air to form CO2 and H2O along with other substances say carbon particles viz SPMs'. the equation is such that: - (C2H4)n + 3nO2 ----> 2nO2 + 2nH2O I am doing research on extraction of fuel from polythene, so I know a little on combustion products of polythene you. yours faithfully, Piyush Nanda.

it is a solid at room temperature and melts at around 120-130 degrees centigrade
The product of the synthesis reaction between sodium and chlorine gas is
Protein synthesis is the process done by ribosomes. Ribosomes provide surface to synthesis.
CH4 + H2O -> CO + H2 methane + steam -> synthesis gas http://www.answers.com/topic/steam-reforming
