C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

Answer 1

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

• To balance a chemical reaction, we should apply the law of conversation of mass.

• The law of conversation of mass states that the mass does not destroyed or created from nothing but it van be transformed from one form to another.

• The no. of atoms in the reactants side must be equal to that in the products side.

So, the balanced equation is: C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O.

• 1.0 mole of propane is burned by 5 moles of oxygen to produce 3 moles of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.
