    This document provides information on combustion reactions of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes. It gives the general combustion formulas for each type of organic compound as follows: For alkanes: CnH2n+2 + (3n+1)/2 O2 → nCO2 + (n+1)H2O For alkenes: CnH2n + 3n/2 O2 → nCO2 + nH2O For alkynes: CnH2n-2 + (3n-1)/2 → nCO2 + (n-1)H2O It also provides an example of using the alkane formula

    Hints And Tricks In Chemistry

    Combustion of Alkane:
    General formula for the combustion of alkane is
    given below
    CnH2n+2 + (3n+1)/2 O2 ---------> nCO2 +
    (n+1)H2O
    Where n=number of carbon atoms.
    For Pentane the equation will be
    n=5
    C5H2×5+2 + (3×5+1)/2 O2 -----> 5CO2 +
    (5+1)H2O
    C5H10+2 + (15+1)/2 O2 ----> 5CO2 + 6H2O
    C5H12 + 16/2 O2 ------> 5CO2 + 6H20
    C5H12 + 8O2 -----> 5CO2 + 6H2O
    Hints:
    👉 This formula is use for the balancing of
    combustion equation of alkane.
    👉 We can find four different variables from this
    formula.
    Examples:
    1) What is the number of moles required for the
    complete combusion of 5 moles of butane???
    Solution:
    Moles of Oxygen will be find by the following
    formula
    (3n+1)/2
    So
    here butane is given and for butane n=4 so
    (3×4+1)/2
    (12+1)/2
    13/2=7.5 moles
    Now
    1 mole Butane=7.5 moles Oxygen
    4 moles butane= X
    So
    X=4×7.5
    X=30 moles
    General Formula For Alkene's combustion
    CnH2n + 3n/2 O2 -----> nCO2 + nH2O
    General formula For Alkyne's combustion
    CnH2n-2 + (3n-1)/2 ----> nCO2 + (n-1)H2O
