Combustion of Cyclohexane

C₆H₁₂ + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O

نظرة عامة

Cyclohexane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. As a cycloalkane, cyclohexane has slightly different combustion characteristics than its straight-chain isomer hexane. It is a key industrial solvent and intermediate in nylon production.
