Complete oxidation of alkanes by oxygen yeilds carbon dioxide and water. Alkanes oxidation by O2, (CxH2x+2) + O2 = x CO2 + x+1 H2O. With Halogens it would be CyH2y+2 + X2 = CyX2y+2 + (y+2) HX. Carbon Carbon bonds often do not break in halogen oxidation. "often"

∙ 13y agoAlkenes, like alkanes, are highly combustible. Alkenes burn with a luminous flame to give carbon dioxide and water. The flame becomes luminous because of the higher carbon content of alkenes than alkanes. Their combustion reactions are exothermic.
Due to the luminosity of the flame, the lower alkenes may be used as illuminants.

C4H8 - alkene or alkane?
C4H8 may be an alkene, Butene or methyl propene and may be a cycloalkane, cyclobutane or methyl cyclopropane.
Can a combustion be water?
Water can be a product of combustion.
In what type of reaction is water always a product?
Combustion reactions
What is the product of combustion?
the product of any combustion rxn is CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and H20 (water).
Is energy a reactant or product of the combustion reaction?

Is turpentine an alkane or alkene?
It is an alkene
How do you workup mCPBA reaction?
Alkene elements appear to be useful in generating a mCPBA reaction. A product of Alkene is cyclohexene because it is generally used as a solvent. When cyclohexane is added to mCPBA, it creates epoxide.
Is one result of combustion carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a product of combustion. It cannot undergo combustion.
Carbon dioxide is a by-product of what?
Combustion
How will you differentiate between cotton and nylon fabrics?
Nylon is a product of of alkene while cotton is a plant harvest.
The major alkene product produced by dehydrating Cyclohexanol?
cyclohexene - a 6 carbon ring with one double bond
What is the hydration product formed when each alkene is reacted with H2O in the presence of H plus?
Alkanol from alkeen + H2O
What kind of reaction is 2C2H6 7O2 g 4CO2 6H2O?
A combustion reaction
