Describe the combustion characteristics of heptane and pentene?

The combustion of heptane and pentene will differ in that because pentene is an alkene, it is more likely to experience incomplete combustion because of the higher ratio of carbon to hydrogen than in alkanes. Some carbon will not be oxidized fully and will make soot. Heptane will have a higher heat of combustion than pentene because it has more bonds to be broken.


What is the balanced equation for liquid Heptane plus oxygen?

For the complete combustion reaction, the equation is: C7H16 (l) + 11 O2 (g) => 7 CO2 (g) + 8 H2O (g).

Is more oxygen used in an incomplete combustion than a complete combustion?

More oxygen is used in a complete combustion.


How many molecules of water are produced when 3 molecules of heptane burn?

C7H16 + 1102 ------->8H2O + 7CO2 So 1 molecule of heptane produces 8 molecules of water on combustion and thus 3 molecules produces 24 molecules of water.


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.


What is the PH of heptane?

Heptane has not a pH.


Is heptane a gas?

No, heptane is a liquid.


How many moles of oxygen are required for the complete combustion of heptane?

The balanced equation for complete combustion of heptane is C7H16 + 11O2 ---(ignition)---> 7CO2 + 8H2O. For each moelcule of heptane, you would need 11 molecules of oxygen gas.
