2 Answers
Butane is completely combusted to carbon dioxide and water........
Explanation:
If you like, you can double the equation to remove the half-integral coefficient. What does the
Explanation:
Butane (
#ul("hydrocarbon" + "oxygen" rarr "carbon dioxide" + "water (vapor)"# (complete combustion)
Now we fill in the reagents and balance the equation:
#"C"_4"H"_10(g) + "O"_2(g) rarr "CO"_2(g) + "H"_2"O"(g)# (unbalanced)
#color(red)(ulbar(|stackrel(" ")(" ""C"_4"H"_10(g) + 13/2"O"_2(g) rarr 4"CO"_2(g) + 5"H"_2"O"(g)" ")|)#
