Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the incomplete combustion reactions of butane has to be written.
Concept introduction:
In a balanced equation the number of atoms of each element as a reactant is equal to the number of atoms of that element as a product.
Coefficient is a number placed before a formula in a chemical equation.
A balanced equation should be obeying the law of conservation of mass. Law of conservation of mass states that, the number of atoms remains constant throughout the reaction, simply it can be stated as follows, “during a
In a combustion reaction, oxygen combines with a compound to form water and carbon dioxide. These reactions are exothermic which means they produce heat. If it is an incomplete combustion reaction, instead of carbon dioxide carbon monoxide will be the product.
