Question

Write down the balanced chemical equation for the following reactions:
Combustion of propane (C3H8).
b. n-Butyl alcohol is heated with conc. H2SO4​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. C3H8 +5O2---->4H20+3CO2
2. CH3CH2CH2CH2OH------>(IN CONC H2SO4 gives) 1-butene

Explanation:

1)combustion means burning in presense of oxygen giving water carbon dioxide and energy

1. when n butyl alcohol heated with conc H2SO4 gives butene( SINCE CONC H2SO4 IS STRONG DEHYDRATING AGENT i.e removes water molecule )
