Answer 7

Let's start with the following equation, which is simpler:

C4H8 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O

It is clear that it is unbalanced (4 Carbons on the left, 1 Carbon on the right).
A. Balance the Carbons first
- C4H8 + O2 -> 4CO2 + H2O
That is, C4H8 has 4 Carbons, it must produce 4 molecules of CO2

B. Now balance the Hydrogens
- C4H8 + O2 -> 4CO2 + 4H2O
That is, C4H8 has 8 Hydrogens, it must produce 4 molecules of H2O

C. Finally balance the Oxygen
- C4H8 + 6O2 -> 4CO2 + 4H2O
That is, 4CO2 and 4H2O have 8 + 4 = 12 Oxygens (right side). That means you need 6 molecules of O2 on the left side.

Final result: C4H8 + 6O2 -> 4CO2 + 4H2O
