Photon how you have got H8 there is 3not 8

yeah I was about to ask about that. thanks @jhonyy9

photon336 · Answer

This is a combustion reaction, what I've done in the table is to list the number of atoms for reach element, in both the reactants and products to see whether or not it's balanced or not. the equation should obey the law of conservation of matter.
