Propane (C₃H₈) burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. What is the correct form of the chemical equation that describes this reaction?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Propane is a hydrocarbon that has only single bonds in its structure so it is an alkane.

Propane formula = C₃H₈

Oxygen formula = O₂

Carbon dioxide formula = CO₂

Water formula = H₂O

Reaction:

                         C₃H₈  +   5O₂   ⇒    3CO₂   +   4H₂O
