Combustion of Benzene

2C₆H₆ + 15O₂ → 12CO₂ + 6H₂O

अवलोकन

Benzene burns with a very smoky, sooty flame due to its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio. The aromatic ring structure makes benzene resistant to complete combustion under normal conditions, producing significant amounts of carbon soot. Benzene is a known carcinogen.
