Hexane undergoes complete combustion in exceass oxygen. Write a balanced equation to show this process.

Hexane has the formula C₆H₁₄, and in complete combustion (reaction with oxygen) the only products are carbon dioxide and water:C₆H₁₄ + xO₂ -> yCO₂ + zH₂Owhere x, y and z are molar ratios. The equation can be balanced by examining the carbon, hydrogen and then the oxygen atoms individually on each side of the equation . This gives a final formula:C₆H₁₄ + 19/2O₂ -> 6CO₂ + 7H₂O. Obviously multiples would be correct if molar ratios were consistent.
