Question

Isopropanol burns in oxygen to yield carbon dioxide, water, and heat. Which word equation best represents this chemical reaction?

Answer 1

Answer:

isopropanol + oxygen _- carbon dioxide + water + heat is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

                      2 C₃H₈O  +  9 O₂    →    6 CO₂  +  8 H₂O

Explanation:

This is the combustion reaction in which Isopropanol, an organic compound is burnt in the presence of Oxygen to produce Carbon dioxide and water vapors.

The General reaction is as,

                Isopropanol  +  Oxygen    →    Carbon dioxide  +  Water

Chemical formulae of above compounds and molecule are,

Isopropanol =  C₃H₈O

Oxygen  =  O₂

Carbon Dioxide  =  CO₂

Water  =  H₂O

Hence, the balance chemical equation can be written as,

                      2 C₃H₈O  +  9 O₂    →    6 CO₂  +  8 H₂O
