CO2 reacts with water to form hydrogen carbonate (carbonic acid), H2CO3. This molecule is a weak acid and can form HCO3(-) and CO3(2-) upon deprotonation. Keep in mind that CO2 can only form H2CO3 if there is water present, if the conditions are dry (no water present) it has no acidity at all, so neutral.

Is carbon monoxide an example of an alkane?

No. An alkane is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. Carbon monoxide consists of carbon and oxygen.


Use the masses of carbon dioxide CO2 and water H2O to determine the empirical formula of the alkane component?

To determine the empirical formula of the alkane component, first calculate the moles of carbon and hydrogen in the CO2 and H2O respectively. Then find the ratio of moles of carbon to hydrogen. Finally, simplify the ratio to the smallest whole number to obtain the empirical formula of the alkane component.


How many hydrogens in alkane?

In an alkane, each carbon atom is bonded to 4 hydrogen atoms. So, the number of hydrogens in an alkane can be determined by the formula 2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms in the alkane.


Is Octane is seven carbon linear alkane?

No. Octane is an alkane but it has eight carbons.

Does cyclohexane burn in air?

Cyclohexane is an alkane and it burns in air with an orange flame and black sooty smoke. The orange flame indicates incomplete combustion. This means there is a lack of oxygen in the air for all the carbon in the alkane to be converted into carbon dioxide (which is complete combustion) so some carbon and carbon monoxide is formed which is the black sooty smoke (incomplete combustion).


When a pure alkane is burned which gas is not produced?

When a pure alkane is burned, nitrogen gas (N2) is not produced. The combustion of alkanes typically produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) as the main byproducts. Nitrogen gas is already present in the air and does not participate in the combustion process.


What is the name for ten -carbon continuous chain alkane?

The name for a ten-carbon continuous chain alkane is decane.


What is the molecular formula for a 18 carbon alkane?

The molecular formula for an alkane with 18 carbon atoms is C18H38. Alkanes have the general formula CnH2n+2, where n is the number of carbon atoms.


Is 3-methyloctane an alkane an alkene or alcohol?

3-methyloctane is an alkane because it consists entirely of carbon-carbon single bonds. Alkanes are hydrocarbons made up of only single bonds.


What is the equation for combustion of alkanes?

The general equation for the combustion of alkanes is: Alkane + O2 --> CO2 + H2O This equation represents the reaction of an alkane with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water, releasing heat in the process.
