Answer:

C_3H_8 + 5O_2\longrightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

Explanation:

The chemical equation for this reaction is without balanced is:

C_3H_8 + O_2\longrightarrow CO_2+H_2O

We take oxygen in reactants because these reactions are done in air not in vacuum.

Now , according to law of conservation of matter in any closed system the amount of matter remains constant after transition of matter.

So we need to balance each and every elements present in the above equation i.e. O(oxygen), H(hydrogen) and C(carbon).

So we will follow the standard method of balancing the equation.

First we balance carbon both sides. The carbon in right side should be 3 to balanced with carbon in left side.

Therefore, C_3H_8 + O_2\longrightarrow 3CO_2+H_2O

Similarly, we also balance hydrogen .To do so we need 8 hydrogen molecules in right side so we prefix 4 in H_2O molecule since water itself have two hydrogen molecule they multiply to get total of 8 hydogen atom.

C_3H_8 + O_2\longrightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

So, till now we have balanced carbon and hydron.

Now, their are total 10 oxygen atom in right hand side. 6 form 3CO_2

and 4 form 4H_2O.

So , we also balance these and multiplying 5 with O_2 to get 10 oxygen atoms both sides.

And final balanced equation we get is:

C_3H_8 + 5O_2\longrightarrow 3CO_2+4H_2O

Hence , this is the required solution.

If the energies sound in the device is microphone what is the energy out
Katen [24]

Answer:

Microphones are a type of transducer - a device which converts energy from one form to another. Microphones convert acoustical energy (sound waves) into electrical energy (the audio signal). Different types of microphone have different ways of converting energy but they all share one thing in common: The diaphragm.

Is there carbon atoms in the compound Ca3N2​
katen-ka-za [31]

No, there are not any carbon atoms inside this compound.

The compound is Ca_3N_2. This means there are 3 "Ca" atoms and 2 "N" atoms.

  • Ca is calcium
  • N is nitrogen

Thus, none of the elements in this compound are carbon, meaning there are no carbon atoms. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
