Question

What else is produced during the combustion of propane, C3H8? C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4____

Answer 1

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ = 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Answer 2

Answer;

-H2O, water

Explanation;

-Hydrocarbons undergoes combustion to form water and carbon dioxide. Propane (C3H8) is a hydrocarbon that belongs to the homologous series alkanes. Thus, propane will undergo combustion to form 3 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 molecules of water.

Thus the complete equation will be;

-C₃H₈ + 5O₂ = 3CO₂ + 4H₂O
