Hi, I have a question that's probably quite basic. What would be a combustion reaction for C6H8N2 ?
C6H8N2 + O2 = H2O + CO2 + ..... ? which nitrogen product and how to be sure about it?
Also, could you clarify one thing - everywhere I read about this substance I find out it is a liquid, while during the laboratory experiment I got it in a powder form, could somebody explain how this substance work?
The most important part is the combustion reaction though and why it is like this, so I will be very very grateful.

Sorry, Gurongax, you are not correct. Normal burning of organic compounds with nitrogen always leads to nitrogen N2 as a product
C6H8N2 + O2 = H2O + CO2 + N2
Only at higher temperatures or special conditions formation of NO and NO2 possible as a side reaction. Usually it is an environmental concern for incinerators.
C6H8N2 may have variuos isomers. Google https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=c ... 8#q=C6H8N2
Some of them are solids, for example all three isomers of Phenylenediamine

Remember safety first! Check MSDS and consult with professionals before performing risky experiments.
