Question

A common reaction is the formation of butyric acid from butyl alcohol. butyric acid is what causes the odor of rancid butter. balance the equation for the oxidation of butyl alcohol. c4;h9oh +o2 → c4h7o2h + h2o

Answer 1

Butyl Alcohol on reaction with Oxygen produces Butyric Acid and Water.

The Balance Chemical equation is as follow,

                         C₄H₉OH  +  O₂   →   C₄H₇O₂H  +  H₂O

Result:
          The equation given in statement is already balanced. 

Answer 2

The answer for all is Blank for the four spots. It is already Balanced.
C4H9OH + O2 > C4H7O2H + H2O
