What is the equation for ethane incomplete combustion?

Answer 1

2 H2C2 (g) + 5 O2 (g) --> 4 CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

Actually the correct way to write this would be

2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2 (g) --> 4 CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)

Because C2H2 is acetelyne properly written

Answer 2

You ask this as if all forms of incomplete combustion would be described by the same equation; different fuels have different equations for either complete or incomplete combustion. I will add that it would be characteristic of many forms of incomplete combustion that one of the combustion products is carbon monoxide.

CH4 + 3O2----> Co2 + 2H2o+ Co

Answer 3

The general word equation for complete combustion is:

hydrocarbon + oxygen --> carbon dioxide + water

It depends on WHAT you want to burn with oxygen:

For alkanes like CH4 (methane, natural gas) or C8H18 (octane, petrol) the general balanced equation of complete combustion is as follows

CnH2n+2 + (3n+1)/2 O2 ==> n CO2 + (2n+2)/2 H2O for each uneven(*) natural value of n

(*) if n is even, then all coefficients should be doubled to prevent 'halve' values at the end.

Example butane:

• C4H10 + (13)/2 O2 ==> 4 CO2 + (10)/2 H2O

will become:

• 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 ==> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

(because 6.5 O2 is not allowed)

Answer 4

The incomplete combustion of ethane can produce various products depending on the conditions. In general, the incomplete combustion of ethane can produce carbon monoxide (CO) and elemental carbon (C) in addition to water vapor (H2O). The equation for incomplete combustion of ethane can be represented as: C2H6 + O2 -> CO + C + H2O.

Answer 5

3C2H2 + 5O2 --> C + 3CO + 2CO2 + 3H2O

3C2H2 + 4O2 --> 2C + 3CO + CO2 + 3H2O

Answer 6

4(c2h6) +3(o2) --> 3(co) + 5(c) + 3(h2o)

Answer 7

The chemical reaction is:

3 CH4 + 5 O2 ----> 2 CO + CO2 + 6 H2O

Answer 8

the equation is C2H6 + 2O2 ------> CO +C +3H2O

Answer 9

2c2h2 + 5o2 ----> 4co2 + 2h20
