What is the balanced equation for C4H10 plus O2?

Answer 1

The combustion of Butane (C4H10) with oxygen (02) produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). The balanced and simplified this reaction is 2 butane + 13 water = 8 carbon dioxide and 10 water.

Answer 2

The given equation is the equation of combustion of a hydrocarbon which is butane.

Its combustion produces carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide.

The accurate reaction is :-

2C4H10 + 13O2 -----------> 8CO2 + 10H2O

The above is for the Complete combustion(where there is plenty of oxygen to combust in) of butane which produces Carbon Dioxide, however the Incomplete Combustion (where there is a limited supply of oxygen) of Butane does produce Carbon Monoxide for which the equation is:

2C4H10 + 9O2 -----------> 8CO + 10H2O

8Carbon 8Carbon

20Hydrogen 20Hydrogen

18Oxygen 8Oxygen + 10Oxygen

Answer 3

The balanced equation for the combustion of C4H10 (butane) with O2 is:

2 C4H10 + 13 O2 → 8 CO2 + 10 H2O

Answer 4

C3h8o + 9/2 o2 --> 4 h2o + 3 co2

Answer 5

2C4H10 + 13O2 = 8CO2 + 10H2O

Answer 6

1 c7h8o2 + 8 o2 ---> 7 co2 + 4 h2o

Answer 7

C4H10 plus 9/2O2 equals 4CO plus 5H2O
