I want to thank your team (Jeff) for finding a new writer when you were unable to reach my existing writer to revise my paper. I appreciate your professionalism and efforts. Thanks
A combustion reaction is a reaction between a hydrocarbon burned in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
A hydrocarbon is a molecule composed of carbon and hydrogen in this case propane. The pro- prefix tells us we have 3 carbon.
For hydrocarbons that end in the suffix -ane the formula is ##C_nH_(2n+2)##. This means we need 8 hydrogen, making the formula ##C_3H_8##.
Now we can format the basic reaction.
##C_3H_8 + O_2 -> CO_2 + H_2O##
A reminder that oxygen is a diatomic molecule as a gas, ##O_2##.
Begin by balancing the hydrogen by adding a coefficient of 4 in from of the water.
##C_3H_8 + O_2 -> CO_2 + 4H_2O##
This balances the hydrogen at 8. Now add a a coefficient of 3 in from of the carbon dioxide.
##C_3H_8 + O_2 -> 3CO_2 + 4H_2O##
This balances the carbon at 3. We now have 10 oxygen on the on the product side, 6 from ##CO_2## and 4 from ##H_2O##. We need to add a coefficient of 5 in front of the oxygen to balance the oxygen at 10.
##C_3H_8 + 5O_2 -> 3CO_2 + 4H_2O##
The combustion reaction is now balanced.
I hope this was helpful.
