Balance the following chemical equation: C₃H₈ + O₂ ? CO₂ + H₂O

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To balance equations, it is helpful to write down the number of atoms of each element present in both the reactants and products. Change the coefficients of the reactants and products until the same number of atoms of each element is present on both sides of the reaction arrow. C₃H₈ + O₂ ? CO₂ + H₂O C: 3 C: 1 H: 8 H: 2 O: 2 O: 3 C₃H₈ + O₂ ? 3 CO₂ + H₂O C: 3 C: 3 H: 8 H: 2 O: 2 O: 7 C₃H₈ + O₂ ? 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O C: 3 C: 3 H: 8 H: 8 O: 2 O: 10 C₃H₈ + 5 O₂ ? 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O C: 3 C: 3 H: 8 H: 8 O: 10 O: 10
