Combustion & Controlled Oxidation

Rarely Tested

Formula (Complete Combustion):  $$\begin{aligned}\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n+2} + \left(\frac{3n+1}{2}\right)\text{O}_2 \to n\text{CO}_2 + (n+1)\text{H}_2\text{O}\end{aligned}$$

Formula (Controlled 1):  $$\begin{aligned}2\text{CH}_4 + \text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{Cu / 523 K / 100 atm}} 2\text{CH}_3\text{OH}\end{aligned}$$

Formula (Controlled 2): $$\begin{aligned}\text{CH}_4 + \text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\text{Mo}_2\text{O}_3, \Delta} \text{HCHO} + \text{H}_2\text{O}\end{aligned}$$

Formula (Controlled 3): $$\begin{aligned}2\text{CH}_3\text{CH}_3 + 3\text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{(\text{CH}_3\text{COO})_2\text{Mn}} 2\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}\end{aligned}$$
