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.

∙ 12y agoC6H6 + O2 would yield CO2 + H2O (thats not balanced, but you get it)
So to answer your question a hydrocarbon (an organic compound made up of hydrogens and carbons) is burnt, carbon dioxide and water is formed.

What is the difference between a math equation and a chemical equation?
A math equation uses variables and numbers, while a chemical equation uses compounds and mole ratios.
is Wood is FLAMMABLE Physical or Chemical?
Chemical: flammability requires a chemical reaction to occur in the presence of oxygen at a sufficiently high temperature.
What is the photo-chemical reaction that takes place in the presence of sunlight and is responsible for providing food for everyone?
The photo-chemical reaction that takes place in the presence of sunlight and is the source of food for everyone is called photosynthesis.
What principle can be applied to all chemical reactions?

What is the balanced equation for octane burned in the presence of oxygen gas?
This is a typical combustion reaction in that it involves a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen. The products of combustion reactions are always carbon dioxide and water, just in varying quantities.
What do plants need photosynthesis?
The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is.12 H2O + 6 CO2 =in the presence of sunlight & chlorophyll= 6 H2O + 6 O2 + C6H12O6As you can see water (H2O) and carbon di-oxide (CO2) are needed in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.A plant needs these for photosynthesis:sunlightwaterchlorophyllcarbon dioxide
What is the balance chemical equation of photosynthesis?
6CO2 + 6H2O+ sunlight--> C6H12O6 + 6O2+energy (in presence of chlorophyll)

The presence of the carbon-carbon double bond in eugenol can be tested using the bromine water test Write a balanced equation for the reaction involved in this test?
The balanced equation for the reaction involved is as follows: C10H12O2 + Br2 + H2O ---> C10H13O3Br + HBr. Some C10H12O2Br2 will form as well.
What is the chemical equation for ammonia is heated in the presence of oxygen to give nitric oxide and water?
Nh3 + 2o2 --> hno3 + h2o
Why do scientists have to make sure chemical equations are balanced?
Balancing a chemical equation establishes what proportions of the reactants are required for complete reaction as well as the proportions of the products of the reaction. Some factors in balancing the equation will also dictate what the products ARE. For example - when balancing the equation for a combustion reaction, the presence of nitrogen in the fuel molecule will yield certain products while it's absence will exclude certain products. Likewise, when performing electrochemical reaction balances, balancing the electrochemistry will dictate the products of the reaction.
What is the balanced chemical equation for hydrogen peroxide yields water plus oxygen?
2H2O2 in the prescence of catalase results in 2 H2O + O2
What is the difference between a math equation and a chemical equation?
A math equation uses variables and numbers, while a chemical equation uses compounds and mole ratios.
What is the balanced equation for propene and oxygen?
Chemical formula of propane is C3H8.When propane combines with oxygen in the presence of heat source, we get an exothermic reaction.C3H8 + O2 --> Exothermic reaction (burns with bluish flame along with carbon dioxide, water and particulate matter).
