Do all of the oxidized hydrocarbons form in to Co2 and H20 only? or can there be other biproducts when combusted. I'm trying to figure out the products released in the combustion of glyoxylic acid (C2H2O3) to see if formaldehyde are released
In a highly oxygenated environment, I think that would be true. For example if you burned glyoxylic acid in potassium chlorate or some other high oxygen content oxidizers then the products would be CO2 and H2O. In air, which is only 21% oxygen as well as far lower density, side reactions can reasonably be expected. I do not know if a formaldehyde product could be expected in glyoxylic acid combustion--that would require some rearranging that I don't think would be thermodynamically favorable, but that is a guess. Also, my reaction mechanism for burning methane is simplified for the sake of the video. In reality there are far more steps involved to get from reactants to products.
you explain things SO clearly
Thanks so much!!
Thanks again for your videos in this series on reactions! You explain it so much better than the book.😊❤
Thanks Very much 😄
keep uploading many videos these are very useful
Thanks for posting such useful vids. beautiful!
thank you
Thanks so much
How about incomplete combustion? Idk how to do it
This is great! thanks so much for posting!!
