Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane is to be determined.
Concept Introduction: A chemical equation is said to be balanced if it contains all the atoms in equal number. Hydrocarbons on combustion gives carbon dioxide and water. So, on combustion of butane, carbon dioxide and water are formed.

Gasohol is a mixture of 90% gasoline and 10% ethanol, CH 3CH 2OH. Ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly fuel additive because it can be made from a renewable source—sugarcane. Ethanol burns in air to form CO 2 and H 2O, and, like the combustion of alkanes, this reaction also releases a great deal of energy. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of ethanol.

- Ethanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol.
