The answer is elements gain electrons. Oxidation reduction is elements lose electrons. And oxygen is added/lost can be a type of oxidation/reduction reaction.
<h3>
Answer:</h3>
C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;
C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)
- A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
- Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
- Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
- An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
- An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
