Combustión de naftaleno
C10H8 + 12O2 → 10CO2 + 4H2O
Descripción general
Naphthalene burns with a very smoky, luminous flame characteristic of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Its high carbon content results in significant soot production. Naphthalene is the simplest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with two fused benzene rings.
