Question

Write and balance a complete chemical reaction equation for the combustion of butane. Butane has carbon atoms. Butane has hydrogen atoms. Butane is considered . Which compound is needed for the complete combustion of butane

Answer 1

Answer:

The balanced reaction is this:

2 C₄H₁₀ (g)  +  13 O₂(g) →  8 CO₂(g) +  10 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction whose reagents are oxygen, usually in excess and a hydrocarbon to generate carbon dioxide and water in the form of steam, as products.

Butane is considered as a reactant and it is a sort of alkane, in this case with 4 C (prefix but).

O₂ is needed for the complete combustion of butane.
