Here are the balanced chemical equations for the complete combustion of each class of organic compounds:

  • Alkane (CnH2n+2\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n+2}):

    CnH2n+2+3n+12O2⟶nCO2+(n+1)H2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n+2} + \frac{3n+1}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + (n+1)\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Alkene (CnH2n\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}):

    CnH2n+3n2O2⟶nCO2+nH2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n} + \frac{3n}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + n\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Alkyne (CnH2n−2\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n-2}):

    CnH2n−2+3n−12O2⟶nCO2+(n−1)H2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n-2} + \frac{3n-1}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + (n-1)\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Benzene (C6H6\text{C}_6\text{H}_6):

    C6H6+152O2⟶6CO2+3H2O\text{C}_6\text{H}_6 + \frac{15}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow 6\text{CO}_2 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Alcohol (CnH2n+2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n+2}\text{O}):

    CnH2n+2O+3n2O2⟶nCO2+(n+1)H2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n+2}\text{O} + \frac{3n}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + (n+1)\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Alkanoic acid (Carboxylic acid) (CnH2nO2\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O}_2):

    CnH2nO2+3n−22O2⟶nCO2+nH2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O}_2 + \frac{3n-2}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + n\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Aldehyde (CnH2nO\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O}):

    CnH2nO+3n−12O2⟶nCO2+nH2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O} + \frac{3n-1}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + n\text{H}_2\text{O}
  • Ketone (CnH2nO\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O}):

    CnH2nO+3n−12O2⟶nCO2+nH2O\text{C}_n\text{H}_{2n}\text{O} + \frac{3n-1}{2}\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow n\text{CO}_2 + n\text{H}_2\text{O}
