Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The given reaction is:

C4H10 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

The above equation is not balanced due to the unequal distribution of atoms on either side of equation

# atoms Reactants # atoms products

C = 4 C = 1

H = 10 H = 2

O = 2 O = 3

In order to balance it, multiply C4H10 by 2, O2 by 13, CO2 by 8 and H2O by 10 to get:

2C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
