Question

The general equation for combustion do C_xH_y is-

• A. C_xH_y +$\left( \frac{x + y}{4} \right)O_{2}$→ x CO₂ + yH₂O
• B. C_xH_y + $\left( \frac{x + y}{2} \right)O_{2}$→ x CO₂ +$\frac{y}{2}$H₂O
• C. C_xH_y + $\left( x + \frac{y}{4} \right)$O₂® x CO₂ +$\frac{y}{2}$H₂O
• D. C_xH_y + (x + y) O₂® x CO₂ + $\frac{y}{2}$ H₂O

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

C_xH_y + $\left( x + \frac{y}{4} \right)$O₂® x CO₂ +$\frac{y}{2}$H₂O

Answer 2

The balanced equation is –

C_xH_y + $\left( x + \frac{y}{4} \right)$O₂ ¾® x CO₂ + $\frac{y}{2}$H₂O
