Question

Balance the combustion reaction between propane and oxygen. C ₃ H ₈+ O ₂→ CO ₂ + H ₂ O

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge \boxed{\mathrm{C_3 H_8 +5O_2 \Rightarrow 3CO_2 +4 H_2 O}}$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Explanation:

$\sf C_3 H_8 +O_2 \Rightarrow CO_2 + H_2 O$

Balancing Carbon atoms on the right side,

$\sf C_3 H_8 +O_2 \Rightarrow 3CO_2 + H_2 O$

Balancing Hydrogen atoms on the right side,

$\sf C_3 H_8 +O_2 \Rightarrow 3CO_2 +4 H_2 O$

Balancing Oxygen atoms on the left side,

$\sf C_3 H_8 +5O_2 \Rightarrow 3CO_2 +4 H_2 O$

$\rule[225]{225}{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O .
