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

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

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

The chemical reaction is:

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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