Write a balanced equation for its combustion reaction.
laila [671]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of the hydrocarbon in question is;

C₅H₁₂O(l)+15/2O₂(g)→5CO₂(g)+6H₂O(l)

  • A balanced chemical equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
  • In this case;
  • Reactant side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
  • Product side has; 5 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms and 16 Oxygen atoms
  • An equation is balanced by putting appropriate coefficients on reactants and products involved in the reaction.
  • An equation is balanced so as to obey the law of conservation of mass.
