Write the complete balanced equation for the following reaction:
c5h9o + o2 yields co2 + h2o
, i'm lost : /

To complete the balancing of the following combustion reaction, we must do elemental balances. For C, there is 5 on the left side hence there should be 5 CO2. For H, H20 should be 9/2. Next we balance O. on theright side we find a total of 29/2. So the o2 on the left side should be 29/4. To  have whole number stoich.coeff. we multiply the numbers by 4, hence answer is
4C5H9O + 9O2= 20 O2 + 18 H20. 

You need to divided twenty four by a dozen them by the temperature it is getting cook by

Elias is almost correct. he just got it backwards.the correct answer is that it demonstrates elastic potential energy transforming into kinetic energy.
