When benzene is heated in air, it burns ...

When benzene is heated in air, it burns with sooty flame producing (X) and (Y). As shown in the given reaction `C_6H_6+(15)/(2) O_2 to (X) + (Y)`: Here , (X) and (Y) refer to

A

`C_6H_5- OH, CO`

B

`CO_2, H_2O`

C

`C_6H_(14), CO_2`

D

`C_6H_5OH, H_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Combustion: when heated in air, benzene burns with sooty flame producing `CO_2 and H_2O " "C_6H_6 + (15)/(2) O_2 to 6CO_2 + 3H_2O`. General combustion reaction for any hydrocarbon may be given by the following chemical
`C_X H_Y + [X + (Y)/(4)]O_2 to XCO_2 + YH_2O`
