alkane mechanisms Flashcards
(6 cards)
1
Q
complete combustion of alkanes
A
C3H8 (g) + 5O2 (g) = 3CO2 (g) + 4H2O (g) + energy
reaction occurs with heat energy
2
Q
incomplete combustion
A
C3H8 (g) + 3.5O2 (g) = 3CO (g) + 4H20 (g) + e
C3H8 (g) + 2O2 (g) = 3C (s) + 4H2O (g) +e
3
Q
whats C (s)
A
particulates- global dimming+ respiratory problems
4
Q
whats CO (g)
A
carbon monoxide poisoning
5
Q
whats cracking
A
turning longer chain of alkanes to shorter chains of alkanes (for petrol and other fuels) and alkenes (used within organic chemicals, including polymer production)
6
Q
free radical halogenation steps
A
1)initiation
2)Propagation
3)Termination
