1 mole of hexadecane can be cracked to form 1 mole of decane, C10H22\text{C}_{10}\text{H}_{22}C10H22, and 2 moles of another product.
Complete the balanced equation for this reaction by adding the formula of the missing product.
C16H34→C10H22+2……… \text{C}_{16}\text{H}_{34} \rightarrow \text{C}_{10}\text{H}_{22} + 2 \dots\dots\dots C16H34→C10H22+2………130 exam-style questions on Edexcel GCSE Chemistry 9.1 Fuels, covering 9.1.1 Hydrocarbons and crude oil, 9.1.2 Fractional distillation of crude oil and its fractions, 9.1.3 The alkanes as a homologous series, 9.1.4 Complete and incomplete combustion, 9.1.5 Pollutants from burning fuels, 9.1.6 Hydrogen as a fuel and non-renewable fossil fuels, and 9.1.7 Cracking of larger alkanes.
