===Meaning===
[[Alkane]]s are the simplest form of [[hydrocarbon]] [[compound]]s with no [[Double Bond|double bonds]] and the [[General Formula (Chemistry)|general formula]]; C<sub>n</sub>H<sub>2n+2</sub>
===About Alkanes===
In the [[Complete Combustion|complete combustion]] of [[alkane]]s the only [[product]]s are [[Carbon Dioxide]] and [[Water]].
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: CH<chemsub>4</sub>CH4 + 2O2 -2O<sub>2</sub> → CO<sub>2</sub> CO2 + 2H2O2H<sub>2</chemsub>O
: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: 2C<chemsub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>2C2H6 + 7O2 -7O<sub>2</sub> → 4CO<sub>2</sub> 4CO2 + 6H2O6H<sub>2</chemsub>O
: [[Propane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: C<chemsub>3</sub>H<sub>8</sub>C3H8 + 5O2 -5O<sub>2</sub> → 3CO<sub>2</sub> 3CO2 + 4H2O4H<sub>2</chemsub>O
: [[Butane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Dioxide]] + [[Water]]
: 2C<chemsub>4</sub>H<sub>10</sub>2C4H10 + 13O2 -13O<sub>2</sub> → 8CO<sub>2</sub> 8CO2 + 10H2O10H<sub>2</chemsub>O
=====Incomplete Combustion=====
During [[Incomplete Combustion|incomplete combustion]] of [[alkane]]s the [[product]]s may include [[Carbon]] ([[soot]]) and [[Carbon Monoxide]].
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[CarbonSoot]] + [[Water]]: CH<chemsub>4</sub>CH4 + O2 -O<sub> 2</sub> → C + 2H2O2H<sub>2</chemsub>O
: [[Methane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: 2CH<chemsub>4</sub>2CH4 + 3O2 -3O<sub> 2</sub> → 2CO + 4H2O4H<sub>2</chemsub>O
: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[CarbonSoot]] + [[Water]]: 2C<chemsub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>2C2H6 + 3O2 -3O<sub> 2</sub> → 4C + 6H2O6H<sub>2</chemsub>O
: [[Ethane]] + [[Oxygen]] → [[Carbon Monoxide]] + [[Water]]
: 2C<chemsub>2</sub>H<sub>6</sub>2C2H6 + 5O2 -5O<sub> 2</sub> → 4CO + 6H2O6H<sub>2</chemsub>O
