What is the reaction that takes space with a chemical call hexane and burns

1 answer

The reaction that takes place when hexane burns is a combustion reaction. Hexane, when combined with oxygen (usually from the air) and ignited, undergoes a combustion reaction to produce carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the primary products. The reaction can be represented by the following equation:

2 C6H14 + 19 O2 → 12 CO2 + 14 H2O
