In two or more complete sentences, explain how to balance the combustion equation: + ⟶ +

[tex]C_5H_{12}+8O_2\rightarrow 5CO_2+6H_2O]/tex]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which fuel is reacted with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

[tex]C_5H_{12}+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O]/tex]

The balanced equation will be :

[tex]C_5H_{12}+8O_2\rightarrow 5CO_2+6H_2O]/tex]

personal, she chose to do it.
