Question

What else is produced during the combustion of propane, C3H8?

C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4________

Answer 1

Answer:

Propane (C3H8) is a hydrocarbon that belongs to the homologous series alkanes. Thus, propane will undergo combustion to form 3 molecules of carbon dioxide and 4 molecules of water.

Answer 2

H2O will be produced in above reaction.

1. The combustion of propane can occur in excess or limited oxygen. The given reaction states combustion in presence of excess oxygen.
2. The combustion in excess oxygen results in formation of carbon dioxide and water.
3. The incomplete combustion forms carbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and water.
4. The complete chemical reaction will be - C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
