Answer:
C₇ H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O
Explanation:
Given equation
C₇ H₁₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
To solve this problem,
We use a mathematical approach to balance the equation:
aC₇ H₁₆ + bO₂ → cCO₂ + dH₂O
Conserving C; 7a = c
H ; 16a = 2d
O: 2b = 2c + d
Let a = 1
c = 7
d = 8
b = 11
Now insert the parameters and solve;
C₇ H₁₆ + 11O₂ → 7CO₂ + 8H₂O
