Combustion of Benzene

2C6H6 + 15O2 → 12CO2 + 6H2O

概述

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.
