The question is impossible to answer.
- You cannot have 5 cm of CH or C H. You need a volume, not a length.
- The second substance listed is the same as the first, but with a space.

What does petrol plus oxygen equal?
Add heat and you get combustion.
What are the 3 elements of a combustion triangle?
Oxygen, heat and fuel :)
The air you breathe is made of 21 percent oxygen and 78 percent nitrogen The oxygen in air is the?
It's the oxygen. Since oxygen doesn't dissolve into nitrogen - air is a mixture, not a solution - you can't call it the solute and the nitrogen the solvent, which may have been the answer you thought you were going to get.
What is one-fifth nitrogen and four-fifths oxygen?
A mixture of gases that strongly resembles the major components of earth's atmosphere.
How many grams of propane can be burned by 24 grams of O2?
For complete proper combustion of Propane: C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O The relative atomic weights of a molecule of Propane and Oxygen are: Propane: 3 × C + 8 × H = 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 = 44 Oxygen: 2 × O = 2 × 16 = 32 Thus a molecule of propane is 44/32 = 1⅜ times heavier than a molecule of oxygen; and the same amount (number of molecules) of propane as 24 g of oxygen is 24g × 1⅜ = 33g Each propane molecule takes 5 oxygen molecules, thus: 33 g ÷ 5 = 6 3/5 g = 6.6 g If the combustion produces the poisonous carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide: 2C3H8 + 7O2 = 6CO + 8H2O → propane = 33g × 2/7 = 9 3/7 g ≈ 9.4 g A complete answer is thus between 6 3/5 g (6.6g) and 9 3/7 g (9.4 g) depending upon how much carbon monoxide relative to carbon dioxide is produced by the burning - the safe amount is 6.6 g.
How can oxygen produce combustion?
Oxygen supports combustion by reacting with a fuel at high temperatures to produce heat and light energy. The oxygen in the air combines with the fuel, breaking bonds and releasing energy in the form of heat, which sustains the combustion process.
Is oxygen required in combustion?
No, oxygen is required for combustion to take place.
Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?
More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.
Is Mercury required for combustion?
No. Oxygen is required for combustion. Mercury is not involved.
Why does complete combustion release more energy than incomplete combustion?
Complete combustion occurs when a fuel reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, releasing more energy because all the fuel is efficiently converted into these products. In incomplete combustion, not all the fuel reacts to form carbon dioxide and water, leading to the release of less energy as other byproducts such as carbon monoxide or soot are formed.
What is required for combustion to occur?
oxygen
Why does excess supply of oxygen lead to complete combustion?
Complete combustion of a hydrocarbon yields carbon dioxide & water; incomplete combustion yields carbon monoxide & water. By having excess oxygen you have enough oxygen to ensure complete combustion. For example the combustion of methane (CH4):complete combustion: CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2Oincomplete combustion: CH4 + 1.5O2 --> CO + 2H2OAs you can see you need a 1/2 mole less of oxygen for the incomplete combustion of methane. So as long as you have twice the amount (in terms of moles) of oxygen as methane you will ensure complete combustion. So anything in excess of that will also ensure complete combustion.
How many moles of oxygen will be produced from the complete combustion of 4 moles of propane?
No moles of oxygen are produced by complete combustion of propane. Oxygen is CONSUMED, not produced. For combustion of 4 moles of propane, it will use 20 moles of oxygen.
what is the mass in grams of oxygen, is needed to complete combustion of 6 L of methane?
what is the mass in grams of oxygen, is needed to complete combustion of 6 L of methane?
What is an active gas in the air that is necessary for combustion?
Oxygen is the required gas that is necessary for combustion
Why do you burn food in oxygen and not in air?
Burning food in pure oxygen (rather than air) accelerates the combustion process because oxygen is the key component needed for fire. Air is a blend of gases, with only about 21% oxygen, while pure oxygen provides a more efficient environment for combustion to occur. This allows for faster and more intense burning of the food.
How many moles of oxygen are utilized by the complete combustion of propane?
Propane is C3H8 and the combustion equation is C3H8 + 5O2 ==> 3CO2 + 4H2OSo the complete combustion of 1 mole of propane requires 5 moles of oxygen.
