Word equation for combustion of pentane in plenty of air?

Pentane reacts with the oxygen in an excess of air to form five molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water from each molecule of pentane; substantial heat is released by the reaction.


Why is incomplete combustion more harmful to humans?

The incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons produces carbon monoxide, which is a poisonous and potentially fatal gas to humans. Carbon monoxide reduces hemoglobin's (a pigment/protein in your blood that carries oxygen) ability to carry oxygen around your body, essentially starving your organs of oxygen.


What do you need to make hydrocarbon burn properly?

Combustion = Heat, Oxygen and Fuel. Assuming you have enough Fuel (the hydrocarbon), and you have an adequate spark/source of heat, you need sufficient Oxygen to get it to burn completely (which I assume is what you mean for properly). An example is a Bunsen Burner. With the hole at the bottom fully open, plenty of air gets in, and the flame burns very blue and hot, with no yellow or soot, and (pretty much) complete combustion - meaning only CO2 and H2O products. If you close the hole partially or completely, less air (oxygen) makes it to the flame, and it burns with more Yellow, leaving soot on anything you put in the flame, and producing much CO.


What are the limitations of calorimetry?

The primary limit of calorimetry experiments is keeping the system closed. The heat energy that the experiment is trying to capture can easily be lost to the environment and then be immeasurable. Most high grade calorimetry experiments employ advanced bomb calorimeters that ensure complete combustion of the sample. They also use a large amount of water as a heat sink with plenty of insulation to keep the energy from getting out. A stir rod keeps the temperature of the water homogeneous and ensures accurate results


How much is plenty?

Plenty generally means having what you need, and even a little more.

What is the balanced equation for C4H10 plus O2?

The combustion of Butane (C4H10) with oxygen (02) produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The balanced and simplified this reaction is 2 butane + 13 water = 8 carbon dioxide and 10 water.


Explain how to advoid incomplete combustion?

To ensure complete combustion, make sure that there is plenty of oxygen so that all the reactants have a chance to combust.

Is there something you can put in fuel to clean the engine?

Plenty of cars can take fuel additives that clean out a good portion of your car and allow for better combustion.


What are the hazards of alkanes?

If there is plenty of oxygen, the carbon gets converted completely to carbon dioxide and the hydrogen gets converted completely to water. This is complete combustion and the alkane would burn with a clean flame. If there is insufficient oxygen, there is incomplete combustion and some of the carbon does not get converted completely and ends up as soot. This results in a very smoky and sooty flame and is inefficient.


What are four insects that have complete metamorphism?

There are plenty of insects that go through a complete metamorphosis. They include the butterfly, grasshopper, many species of beetles, and flies.


Plenty of oxygen?

Plenty of oxygen will provide your lungs with enough air to perform respiration. Plenty of oxygen will allow combustion to occur, allow oxidation to occur. Your question needs more detail. Respiration Respiration (or just breathing) means the transport of oxygen from the outside air to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.
