  2. Ethylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene

    In the mid-19th century, the suffix -ene (an Ancient Greek root added to the end of female names meaning "daughter of") was widely used to refer to a molecule or part thereof that contained one fewer hydrogen atoms than the molecule being modified. Thus, ethylene (C 2 H 4) was the "daughter of ethyl" (C 2 H 5). The name ethylene was used in ...

    2 C 2 H 6 + 7 O 2 → 4 CO 2 + 6 H 2 O + 3120 kJ. Combustion may also occur without an excess of oxygen, yielding carbon monoxide, acetaldehyde, methane, methanol, and ethanol. At higher temperatures, especially in the range 600–900 °C (1,112–1,652 °F), ethylene is a significant product: 2 C 2 H 6 + O 22 C 2 H 4 + 2 H 2 O
