Question

Which of the following is a correct balanced chemical equation?

• A. 2C4H10(I) + 12O2(g) → 8CO2(g)+10H2O
• B. C4H10(I) +1302(g) → 4CO2(g)+10H2O
• C. 2C4H10(I) +10O2(g) → 8CO2(g) + 10H2O
• D. 2C4H10(I) +13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) 10H2O

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 2C4H10(I) +13O2(g) → 8CO2(g) 10H2O

• Chemical equations represent chemical reactions. They show the reactants (starting materials) and products (substances formed). • A balanced chemical equation adheres to the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means the number of atoms of each element must be the same on both the reactant and product sides of the equation.
