Question

what happens when benzene is heated in air​

Answer 1

Explanation:

When benzene( C₆H₆) is burned in oxygen (O₂) it releases carbon-dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂0). This is because benzene is a hydrocarbon and every hydrocarbon burns with a sooty flame in oxygen to release CO₂ and H₂). When benzene is burned in oxygen it releases CO2 & H2O.

Answer 2

Answer:

Once in the air, benzene reacts with other chemicals and breaks down within a few days. Benzene in the air can also be deposited on the ground by rain or snow. Benzene in water and soil breaks down more slowly.
