Combustion of Cyclohexane

C6H12 + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Visão geral

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.
