Question

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:

Answer 1

Answer:

C₃H₈₍g₎ + 5O₂₍g₎→  3CO₂₍g₎ + 4H₂O₍l₎

Explanation:

Propane is an alkane that burns in enough oxygen to produce carbon (iv) Oxide and heat as the only by products. Balancing the equation: The number of atoms of each kind on either side should be equal. Hydrogen on the left has eight atoms same as the right side after balancing, oxygen has 10 while carbon has 3 on each side.

Answer 2

Answer:The value of the coefficients are:

$a_o=1,a_1=5,a_2=3,a_3=4$

Explanation:

Number written in front of the molecule or element in balanced chemical reaction is known as stoichiometric coefficient.

$a_oC_3H_8 +a_1O_2 \rightarrow a_2CO2 +a_3H2O$

The balance chemical reaction will be given by:

$1C_3H_8 + 5O_2 \rightarrow 3CO2 + 4H2O$

$a_o=1,a_1=5,a_2=3,a_3=4$

1 mole of octane reacts with 5 moles of oxygen gas to gives 3 moles of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water as a product.
