Answer to Question #261082 in Chemistry for sushitrash

Question

During combustion, if nitrogen is present in the original fuel, it is converted to N₂, not to a nitrogen-oxygen compound. Write the balanced combustion equation of the fuel dinitroethylene, whose formula is C₂H₂N₂O₄.

Answer 1

Solution:

dinitroethylen = C₂H₂N₂O₄

Balanced combustion equation of dinitroethylene:

2C₂H₂N₂O₄ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O + 2N₂

or

2C₂H₂N₂O₄(l) + O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g) + 2N₂(g)
