03 Item 4 Chapter BLB When a compound containing C, H. and O is completely combusted in air, what reactant besides the hydrocarbon is involved in the reaction? Express your answer as a chemical formula. Identify the phase in your answer. Submit My Answers give up Part B What products form in this reaction? Enter your answers as chemical formulas separated by a comma. Submit My Answers Give Up Part C What is the sum of the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of acetone, CaHoo(y, in air?Explanation / Answer
Combustion is the process of burning and oxidising a substance completely in the presence of oxygen .
When a hydrocarbon is burnt in oxygen (on combustion) the products are Carbon dioxide and water.
For example
C5H12 + 8 O2 -------> 5 CO2 + 6H2O
If a compound containing C,H and O is combusted , the products are same CO2 and H2O.
Q1) Thus the other reagent is O2 in combustion.
Q2) The products in combustion of organic compound are CO2 and H2O.
