Answer:

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

Explanation:

When a substance burns we talk about a combustion reaction. When combustion is complete the products are carbon dioxide and water, like in this case. The equation is:

C₄H₁₀(l) + O₂(g) ⇄ CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

First, we balance the element with the largest stoichiometric coefficient (C).

C₄H₁₀(l) + O₂(g) ⇄ 4 CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Then, we balance H because it is in just 1 compound on each side.

C₄H₁₀(l) + O₂(g) ⇄ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

Finally, we balance O.

C₄H₁₀(l) + 6.5 O₂(g) ⇄ 4 CO₂(g) + 5 H₂O(g)

Since we want the smallest whole numbers, we multiply all coefficients by 2.

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

Answer:

A computer is made up of wires which is like nerves in our body they send signals throughout our bodies and tell us what to do about a situation. The hard drive of a computer is just like our brain which is the main component of the nervous system it controls involuntary, voluntary, movement and coordination. Also, just like the keys and mouse of a computer we have sensory neurons which pick up what is around us by touch.
