Answer: The compounds that represent products in the given chemical equation are both
4H_2O\text{ and }3CO_2

Step-by-step explanation:

In a chemical equation, the chemical species are termed as reactants or products.

Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.

Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

For the given chemical reaction:


C_3H_8+5O_2\rightarrow 4H_2O+3CO_2

The reactants for the given reaction are
C_3H_8\text{ and }5O_2

The products for the given reaction are
4H_2O\text{ and }3CO_2

Hence, the compounds that represent products in the given chemical equation are both
4H_2O\text{ and }3CO_2
