Answer:
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 10H2₀
What is combustion?
The reaction of a substance with oxygen, producing one or more oxides, heat and light.
Butane (C₄H₁₀) is a hydrocarbon ( The name used for a hydrocarbon with four carbon atoms and only single bonds.) Butane consists of carbon and hydrogen and thus when it combust, it produces carbon dioxide and water.
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ ⇒ 8CO₂ + 10H2₀
The following chemical equation follow the law of conservation of mass.
The law of conservation of mass states that in a closed system, mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical reaction. The law of conservation of mass is applied whenever you balance a chemical equation. It is also applicable to stoichiometry. On the product side, the number of atoms must match the total of atoms on the product side. As a result, the equation must be balanced.
