Question

Using complete sentences, explain how to predict the products and balance the reaction for the combustion of butane, C4H10.
C4H10 + O2

Answer 1

combustion makes H2O and CO2

C4H10 + O2 --> H2O + CO2 is our unbalanced skeleton equation
then you can balance the carbons by adding a 4 in front of CO2, then repeat this similar logic with H and O

Answer 2

thank you
its appreciated
