Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
2C3H8O + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 8H2O
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
Propyl Alcohol + Dioxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. C3H8O is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.
6 C-II – 36 e– → 6 CIV (oxidation)
18 O0 + 36 e– → 18 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.

| C3H8O + O2 = (CH3)2CO + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 = C2O + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 = C2H6O + CO2 + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 = C + CO + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 = C + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 = C2 + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 = C02 + H2O |
| C3H8O + O2 + N2 = CO2 + H2O + N2 |
