The outer shell electrons are only involved in the bonding process since they are the only 'incomplete' shell and it needs to be fulfilled by another element.
Answer:
C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
Explanation:
Propane can be turned into hydrogen by the two-step reforming process.
In the first step, propane and water react to form carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The balanced chemical equation is:
C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g)
In the second step, carbon monoxide and water react to form hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The balanced chemical equation is:
CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇒ H₂(g) + CO₂(g)
In order to get the net chemical equation for the overall process, we have to multiply the second step by 3 and add it to the first step. Then, we cancel what is repeated.
C₃H₈(g) + 3 H₂O(g) + 3 CO(g) + 3 H₂O(g) ⇒ 3 CO(g) + 7 H₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
C₃H₈(g) + 6 H₂O(g) ⇒ + 10 H₂(g) + 3 CO₂(g)
Well assuming we have all of these, earth
