Partial answer:

CxHy is used to indicate a generic hydrocarbon fuel.

A specific hydrocarbon would be, for example, C4H10. That is the molecular formula for Butane.

What type of reaction is cxhy equals co2 plus h2o?

Combustion reaction


When the candle burns there is a reaction .give the chemical formula of the product in this reaction?

When a candle burns, it undergoes combustion in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the main products. The balanced chemical equation for this combustion reaction is: CxHy + O2 → CO2 + H2O.


What are the missing coefficients to C6H12O6 O2--- CO2 H2O?

The balanced equation for the reaction of C6H12O6 with O2 to form CO2 and H2O is: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O


What are the products and the reactants of cellular respiration and photosynthesis?

Products of these are CO2, O2 and H2O Reactants of these are CO2, O2 and H2O (As they are the reverse of the other)


c4h10 o2 co2 h2o balance?

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane (C4H10) with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) is: 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 -> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O


What coefficient would the O2 have after balancing C4H8 O2-CO2 H2O?

the answers is 6 _apex


When equation O2 plus C5H12 CO2 plus H2O is balanced the coefficient of O2 is?

The balanced equation is 8 O2 + C5H12 -> 5 CO2 + 6 H2O. So, the coefficient of O2 is 8.


Which of these are chemical compounds O2 H2O CO2 N2?

H2O (water), CO2 (carbon dioxide) and N2 (nitrogen) are chemical compounds. O2 (oxygen) is a diatomic molecule, not a compound.


What are the 5 common chemicals are shared by all living things?

H2O, CO2, N2, O2, C6H11O6 H2O, CO2, N2, O2, C6H11O6


How would you write this balanced C2H6 plus O2 ---- CO2 plus H2O?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction C2H6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O is: 2 C2H6 + 7 O2 → 4 CO2 + 6 H2O


What coefficient would O2 have after balancing C3H8 O2 CO2 H2O?

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O, so the coefficient for O2 is 5


What is the combustion reactions for C30H62?

Triacontane is similar to candle wax (C25H52) and, when burnt, will produce CO2 and water vapour: 2 C30H62 + 91 O2 -> 60 CO2 + 62 H2O (For the algebraically-minded, the general formula for combustion of any hydrocarbon is: CxHy + (x+y/4) O2 -> x CO2 + y/2 H2O.) Incomplete combustion will produce a mixture of carbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water - a bit more complicated! Combustion in air will produce oxides of nitrogen and potentially thousands of amines and other 'nasties'.
