Combustion of alkanes equations Flashcards
1
Q
Incomplete combustion
A
Hydrocarbon + limited oxygen -> Carbon Monoxide + Water
2
Q
Complete Combustion
A
Hydrocarbon + Surplus oxygen-> Carbon Dioxide + water
3
Q
Acid Rain formation Sulfur Dioxide
A
SO2(g) + 1/2O2(g) + H2O(l)—> H2SO4(l)
4
Q
Flue gas Desulfurisation
Calcium oxide use (Forms Gypsum)
A
CaO(s) + 2H2O + SO2(g) + 1/2O2 —> CaSO4.2H2O (s)
5
Q
Flue Gas Desulfurisation
Use of Calcium Carbonate (Limestone)
Forms Gypsum
A
CaCO3(s) + 1/2O2 + SO2(g) —> CaSO4(s) + CO2(g)
6
Q
Catalytic Converter
Hydrocarbon
A
Hydrocarbons + Nitrogen oxide —> Nitrogen + Carbon Dioxide + Water
7
Q
Catalytic Converter
Carbon monoxide
A
2CO(g) + 2NO(g) —> N2(g) + 2CO2(g)
8
Q
What do catalytic converters do
A
Reduce output of CO, NO, NO2, N2O4 and unburnt hydrocarbons
