Question

Balance the following chemical equation by

providing the correct coefficients.
C3H8 + O2 + CO2 + H2O

A 2.8.4.2
B 1.5.3.4

Answer 1

C3H8 + 502+3CO2 + 4H20

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get this answer you would have to would balance out the carbons on the products side by multiplying CO2 by 3. The new equation will be

C3H8 + 02 ----> 3CO2 + H20

Now, that the carbons are balanced, we will look at the hydrogens. We can multiply the number of waters on the product side by 4, to make 4 H20 molecules. This gives both sides of the equation 8 hydrogens. Next we can check our oxygens. There will be 10 oxygens on the products side and 2 on the reactants so to balance these out, we multiply the 02 on the reactants side by 5.
