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

Why combustion of hexane produce no soot?
Maybe this desription of 'soot' helps you: see 'Related links' just below this answering page.
Is cyclo-hexane an isomer of hexane?
Yes,....
Can hydrocarbons burn?
Burning is a combustion reaction where the substance being burned reacts with oxygen to form simpler products. For example, the combustion of hexane follows the following balanced reaction: 2C6H14 + 19O2 --> 12CO2 + 14H2O The complete combustion of simple hydrocarbons containing only carbon and hydrogen always produces carbon dioxide and water. Incomplete combustion can also occur, where both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are formed in addition to water. Incomplete combustion is more likely to occur in oxygen poorer environments.
What type of bond is hexane?
Hexane has covalent bonds.
What compound most dissolve in hexane?
Hexane is a non-polar solvent, so it will not dissolve in water. Kerosene is non-polar so it will dissolve in Hexane.
What mass of carbon dioxide is produced by the complete combustion of 5.50 grams of hexane?
16.9
What is the word equation for burning petrol in an engine?
Hexane + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water - for full combustion Hexane + Oxygen -> Carbon + Carbon Monoxide + Water - for partial combustion
Why is hexane burned?
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.
What is the energy released in the combustion of hexane?
Hexane - lower heating value at 15,4 0C: 44,752 MJ/kg (3 856,66 kg/mol)
What is the balance equation for the combustion of hexane?
2c6h14 + 15o2 -> 12co2 + 14h2o Stupid site again!! All letters are capitals.
What is a balanced chemical equation of if hexane combusts in the presence of oygen to form carbon dioxide and water?
Yes*. The empirical equation for this reaction is: 2C6H14 + 19O2 ---> 12CO2 + 14H2O. * n-Hexane, burned in an Iron III-catalyzed environment of pure oxygen gas, is oxidized completely. Intermediate products, such as peroxides are formed but the final products are carbon dioxide and water.

What is the black solid that is formed in the combustion of hexane?
Coke, most likely. Coke is the carbonaceous residue left over from the thermal "cracking" of hydrocarbons (the term is also used to describe the residue left over from coal combustion).
How can you calculate the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the burning of an object?
This can be done precisely under certain conditions, but in practice things aren't so simple. You need to know the exact chemical formula of the thing being burned (this can be difficult if you are burning wood, for instance, which is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds). You also have to assume that the combustion is complete -- in other words that all hydrocarbons are completely converted into carbon dioxide and water, which is not always the case in normal burning situations. The actual reactions that occur while burning something are very complicated in fact, but to a close approximation, you can figure out the amount of CO2 produced in the following way:First, write the balance equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon. The reactants are the hydrocarbon itself and oxygen gas (O2). The products are carbon dioxide and water. See the Related Questions to the left for how to do this.Then use stoichiometry to figure out for a certain amount of hydrocarbon burned how much CO2 you will produce. See the Related Questions links to the left for how to do this also.See the Related Questions links to the left for detailed instructions on how to do each of these steps! Note that in both of the related questions, example problems have been worked out using the combustion of a hydrocarbon! Most of the work is done for you already! Just see the examples in the linked questions to the left.
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
What is difference between hexane and n-hexane?
Hexane is a hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C6H14. n-hexane is the unbranched isomer of hexane as there exists four more branched isomers of hexane
What is the equation for the incomplete combustion of kerosene?
Kerosene is the liquid form of a combustible hydrocarbon mixture. The carbon chains are usually a mix of hexane to decahexane, which means there is no set chemical formula.
