Answer:


C_3H_8 (g) + 3 H_2O (g) \longrightarrow 3 CO (g) + 7 H_2 (g)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, as it says you have two reactants: propane gas (
C_3H_8) and steam (
H_2O). This reaction have two products: carbon monoxide (
CO) and hydrogen gas (
H_2).

All compounds in the reaction are in gas state due to the high Temperature.

The reaction equation:


C_3H_8 (g) + H_2O (g) \longrightarrow CO (g) + H_2 (g)

Balancing:


C_3H_8 (g) + 3 H_2O (g) \longrightarrow 3 CO (g) + 7 H_2 (g)
