Question

HOW DO ALKANES BURN IN INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF AIR GIVE CHEMICAL REACTION​

Answer 1

Answer:

Incomplete combustion of alkanes: It occurs when there is not enough amount of oxygen for fuel to react completely. This leads to the formation of carbon or carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide formed as a by product is a colourless poisonous gas.

Explanation:

For example:

• Methane + (little) Oxygen → Carbon + Water

              CH₄ + O₂ → C + 2H₂O

• Methane + (some) Oxygen →  Carbon Monoxide + Water

              CCH₄(g)   +   (3/2)O₂ (g)  →   CO(g)  + 2H₂O(l)

Answer 2

Answer:

ch4 +o2 ➡ C +h2O

Explanation:

when alkanes burnt in in sufficient supply of oxygen they form carbon monoxide and carbon
