Question

Write skeleton equations for these reactions. a. butane(l) + oxygen (g) --> carbon dioxide(g) + water(l).

Answer 1

Skeleton equation is actually a chemical reaction whee the reactants and products are written in their chemical formula. In this problem, this is actually a combustion reaction of butane. The chemical formula for butane is C₄H₁₀.

C₄H₁₀ (l) + 6.5 O₂ (g) --> 4 CO₂ (g) + 5 H₂O (l)
