			==Combustion Reaction==

			Like all hydrocarbons, decane undergoes [[hydrocarbon combustion]] when used as a fuel. The balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of decane is:

			<center> 2 C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>22</sub> + 31 O<sub>2</sub> → 20 CO<sub>2</sub> + 22 H<sub>2</sub>O + Heat Energy ([[Enthalpy]]) </center>

			The [[hydrocarbon combustion]] reaction releases [[heat]] [[energy]] and is an example of an [[exothermic reaction]]. The reaction also has a negative [[enthalpy]] change (ΔH) value.
