A. Combustion of alkanes (methane, ethane, propane, butane)
CH4(g) + 2O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + heat
C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) → 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) + heat
C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(l) + heat
C4H10(g) +13O2(g)→ 8CO2(g)+ 10H2O(l) + heat

B. Monosubstitution reaction of alkanes (with chlorine atoms - chlorination)
CH4 + 1/2Cl2 -----→ CH3Cl + HCl
CH3CH3 + 1/2Cl2 -----→ CH3CH2Cl + HCl
CH3CH2CH3 + 1/2Cl2 -----→ CH3CH2CH2Cl + HCl
