9. identify the type of reaction C4H10(g)+O2(g) -yeilds- CO2(g)+H2O(g)?

Question

options for the guesion are:
1. hydrocarbon synthesis
2. incomplete combustion
3. complete combustion
4.single displacement

Answer 1

3 is the result of a clean and efficiant running engin

Answer 2

2

Answer 3

3. is the correct answer because the reaction above is the typical reaction for a complete combustion. You put a hydrocarbon in a flame, and along with the oxygen in the air you yield carbon dioxide and water. Complete combustions yield CO2 and H20 only.

* it is not 1 because you are not have a hydrocarbon as a product. Hydrocarbons look like this: CxHy, where x and y are numbers.

*it is not 2 because you don't have anything else as products other than H20 and CO2.

*and it is not 4 because single displacement implies that Oxygen switched places with hydrogen. In the reaction above you have oxygen everywhere: attached to the Carbon (CO2) and hydrogen (H2O).

Answer 5

Complete Combustion

Answer 6

Combustion, at its most general, can mean the reaction of oxygen gas (O2) with anything.

However, we will understand combustion to mean the reaction of oxygen with an compound containing carbon and hydrogen. A common synonym for combustion is burn.

Written using generic symbols, it is usually shown as:

CxHy + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

Answer 8

3. complete combustion

Answer 9

if you wanted it balanced then it is incomplete combustion #2. but I'm still in Chemestry, what do I know

Answer 10

complete combustion
