If you think of it endothermic is when there is energy needed for the reaction to occur and exothermic is when the reaction releases energy
Combustion equation of n-hexane:
2C₆H₁₄ + 19O₂ → 12CO₂ + 14H₂O
a)
Assuming we have 100 moles of air,
Oxygen = 20.9 moles
n-hexane required = 20.9/19 x 2
= 2.2 moles
LFL = Half of stoichometric amount = 2.2 / 2 = 1.1
LFL n-hexane = 1.1%
b)
1.1 volume percent required for LFL
1.1% x 1
= 0.0011 m³ of n-hexane required
Na releases 1 electron to be stable
Cl requires 1 electron to be stable
both are ionic bonded to be stable
