Best Answer

Hexane is only burned when it is used as an additive in gasoline. Hexane is highly flammable and can cause an explosion so there is only 1 percent to 3 percent of hexane in the total volume of gasoline. Hexane is a chemical used as a solvent to make vegetable oil from various sources, like soybeans.

If hexane was burned in a limited supply of oxygen the combustion would not be complete?

This depends on how much hexane was being burned and how much oxygen was present.Because the complete combustion of carbon involves placing two moles of oxygen on one mole of carbon plus the formation of water, you would need 19 moles of diatomic oxygen for every one mole of hexane.1 C6H14 + 19 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 7 H2O


How many moles of carbon dioxide are produced when 84.4 moles of hexane is burned?

Balanced equation first, 2C6H14 + 19O2 >> 12CO2 + 14H2O 84.4 moles hexane (12 moles CO2/2 moles C6H14) = 506.4 moles of CO2
