Combustion of Ethylene
C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
概述
Ethylene burns in air with a luminous flame to form carbon dioxide and water. While ethylene can be burned as fuel, it is far more valuable as a chemical feedstock. It is the world's most-produced organic chemical, primarily used for polyethylene plastic.
