To balance the combustion reaction of propane (C3H8), which produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), we start with the unbalanced equation: C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O. Balancing it gives us: C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O. Therefore, the coefficient for O2 in the balanced equation is 5.

What coefficient would O2 have after balancing C3H8 O2 CO2 H2O?

C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O, so the coefficient for O2 is 5


When C3H8 is combined with O2 in a reaction the two end products are carbon dioxide and water What element should you first look at in balancing this equation?

In this case it really doesn't matter with which you start C or H, but mostly start with the simplest numbered: C. (Here the molecular coefficient is SET to a = 1 for C3H8, later it can be changed to a higer value when other coefficient are not a whole number)Never start with the oxygen, it is in two products and can't be solved first.aC3H8 + bO2 --> pCO2 + qH2OC: 3a = p , if SET a=1, then p=3H: 8a = 2q , if SET a=1, then q=4So far:1C3H8 + bO2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O leaving b to be solved to a (whole) natural numberThen:O: 2b = 2p + q = 6 + 4 then b = 5Solved:C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O

A compound containing 3 atoms of carbon and 8 atoms of hydrogen is combine in a reaction with oxygen molecules this equation are what element should you look at in balancing this equation?

this is tricky :|......this is as much as i can give you:3C+8H-------->?OI am unable to give you a good answer but i hope i gave you somethingim very sorry :[


Rank in order of decreasing rate if effusion ar h2s he h2 c3h8?

The effusion rate is inversely proportional to the square root of the molecular weight of the gas. Therefore, the ranking in decreasing effusion rate would be: He > H2 > C3H8 > H2S.


What mass of O2 is required for the complete combustion of 7.91 g of C3H8 to CO2 and H2O?

28.76 g of O2 Write the complete combustion reaction and balance C3H8 + 5O2 yields 3CO2 + 4H2O set up ratio based on molar masses (stat organized) 44g = 160g X 7.91g Solve for X I have found this method easier for students (gen. chem) as compared to dimensional analysis
