What is the correct balance of the equation for the combustion of propane, C3H8?- C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O- C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O- CO2 + H2O  → C3H8 + O2- 2C3H8 + 8O2 → 6CO2 + 5H2O

Answer:


B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the balanced equation for the combustion of propane

When propane is burned in an unlimited supply of oxygen, what we have produced is carbon (iv) oxide and water

We have the complete and balanced chemical equation as follows:


C_3H_8\text{ + 5O}_2\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ 3CO}_2\text{ + 4H}_2O
