Propane burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. What are the chemical formulas of the reactants and products?

i remember that propane has 3 carbons because 'prop' reminds me of a three prop boat propeller.

So propane must be C3H8, and we know that oxygen is O2. we also know that carbon dioxide is CO2 and water is H20.

the reactants are the propane and the oxygen. The products are the water and the carbon dioxide.

The reaction formula looks like this:

C3H8 + O2 = CO2 + H2O

let me know if you need a balanced equation :)

Answer:

The formulas of the reactants are C3H8 and O2. The formulas of the products are CO2 and H2O.

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g
