Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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.
