Answer:

2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

Explanation:

When isopropyl alcohol burns in the presence of oxygen it gives carbondioxide and water. The chemical equation is given below:

Word equation:

Propanol + oxygen → carbondioxide + water

Chemical equation:

C₃H₇OH + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

There are six carbon atoms sixteen hydrogen atoms, twenty oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation. That's why equation is correctly balanced.
