Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
Chemical Reaction Information
Propane + Dioxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. C3H8 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.
- 3 C-8/3 – 20 e– → 3 CIV (oxidation)
- 10 O0 + 20 e– → 10 O-II (reduction)
Reaction Type
Combustion
Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.
