What is the name of the solid pollutant which may form when pentane burns incompletely in air?
Soot. Which is pure carbon.
Pentane is C5H12 - five carbons, 12 hydrogens. If you set this afire in an atmosphere rich in oxygen, you will get:
C5H12 + xO2 -> 5CO2 + 6H2O
In other words, when you heat this product up enough, all the bonds in it will split; the hydrogens will grab oxygen atoms and form water, and the carbons will grab oxygens and form carbon dioxide. It is highly exothermic, creating not only heat but light - a condition we call a flame.
That's the ideal situation. In reality, you usually DON'T have enough oxygen right there to make everyone happy. You will usually get...
C5H12 + xO2 -> 6H20 + 5CO
5CO + xO2 -> xCO2 + xCO
Hydrogen is the male lion of the chemistry world: it eats first. Hydrogen will form water molecules until all the hydrogen is gone. Next, carbon will first form carbon monoxide. Then carbon monoxide will form carbon dioxide until all the oxygen is gone.
If you are REALLY short on oxygen, you will get:
C5H12 + xO2 -> 6H2O + xCO + xC

What is insolubles in pentane?
Insolubles in pentane refer to compounds or impurities that are not soluble in pentane. These insolubles may include solid particles, organic residue, or inorganic contaminants that are unable to dissolve in pentane. It is important to remove insolubles from pentane to maintain its purity for various industrial applications.
Why methane is gas and pentane is liquid?
Methane is a gas at room temperature and pressure because it has a lower boiling point and weaker intermolecular forces than pentane, which is a liquid. The longer carbon chain in pentane results in stronger van der Waals forces between molecules, keeping pentane in a liquid state.
What is the solid yellow which burns to form acidic oxide?
Sulfur is a solid yellow element that burns to form sulfur dioxide (SO2), which dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
What is the change of state in a lit candle?
The change of state in a lit candle is from solid (wax) to liquid (molten wax) to gas (vaporized wax) as the heat from the flame melts the wax and turns it into vapor that burns, releasing heat and light.
How does the state of matter of wax in a candle change when the candle it lit?
When a candle is lit, the solid wax melts and turns into liquid wax. As the candle burns, the liquid wax is drawn up the wick by capillary action and evaporates, creating a gas that then burns and produces heat and light.

Why is it needed to separate solid and liquid pollutants?
first of all we want to know what is pollutant -pollutant is nothing but those material which is responsible for producing the pollution .they may be in solid ,liquid or in gaseous form.examples of solid pollutants are death and decades of animals bodies,for gases-gases from chemneys,co,etc & liquid -discharge of chemicals from industries. and according to your question my answer is ----if we not separate the solid or liquid pollutants then there will be the chemical reaction will take place which may cause a poiseneous reaction which will effect our environment.
What is the solid yellow which burns to form acidic oxide?
Sulfur is a solid yellow element that burns to form sulfur dioxide (SO2), which dissolves in water to form sulfuric acid (H2SO4).
When carbon burns in air does it make a basic gas or an acidic gas a or basic solid or an acidic solid?
Acidic gas :)
What evidence tells you that phyisical porperties take place in a candle as it burns?
When a candle burns the solid wax melts to liquid and then it gets oxidized. This change of solid in to liquid is a physical activities of changing the phase of a substance.
What yellow solid melts to red liquid and burns with blue flame?
ur mother
Why sugar in solid state can not be changed into into liquid state on heating?
It burns before melting.
What the of change is a change of state?
The solid wax of the candle melts, and eventually vapourises, then burns and becomes a gas.
What underground solid is a serious pollutant when burned for energy?
When burned for energy,coal is a major pollutant.The reason coal is still burned to day is because it is a cheap source of energy as to solar or wind.
What is the change of state in a lit candle?
The change of state in a lit candle is from solid (wax) to liquid (molten wax) to gas (vaporized wax) as the heat from the flame melts the wax and turns it into vapor that burns, releasing heat and light.
Do striped candles burn faster than solid colored candles?
How fast a candle burns depends on the type of wax it is made of and how drafty the room is, but stripes and solid colors play no part.
