Question

Write a word equation for the combustion of propane??? HELP????

Answer 1

Answer:

1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.

Explanation:

The word equation for the combustion of propane can be obtained from the chemical equation;

      C₃H₈   +    5O₂    →   3CO₂   +   4H₂O  

The word equation is therefore:

 1 mole of propane combines with 5 moles of oxygen gas to produce 3 mole of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.

For such a combustion reaction, carbon dioxide and water are produced in the process.
