Combustion reactions

2-Methyloctane burns in the same way as other alkanes. Where there is enough oxygen, nonane burns to form water and carbon dioxide, so 2-methyloctane would do the same.

C9H20 + 14O2 → 9CO2 + 10H2O

When insufficient oxygen is present for complete combustion, carbon monoxide is produced.

2C9H20 + 19O2 → 18CO + 20H2O
