Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The volume of waterneeded for the complete combustion of given amount of heptane is to be calculated at STP.
Concept Introduction:
Inacombustion reaction, hydrocarbons are burnt in the presence of oxygen.
Hydrocarbon reactions are the combustion reactions. Combustion reactions are highly exothermic that is it releases a lot of heat.
Complete combustion of hydrocarbon means that hydrocarbon is combusted in an excess amount of oxygen.
