(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for the combustion of isooctane to yield
Concept introduction:
Balancing a
A chemical equation is the symbolic representation of a chemical equation and the law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction and thus the number of atoms in the right side will be the same as the number of atoms in the left side of a chemical reaction.
In-order to balance a reaction, place the coefficient in front of each atom such as to conserve mass on both sides and the easiest element should be balanced first.

The molecules with 8, 9, and 10-carbons are "octane", "nonane", and "decane" and are common components of gasoline. The image below shows chemical equations for the combustion of the simplest hydrocarbon methane, 3-carbon propane, and 10-carbon decane. As you can see, the products are always carbon dioxide and water, just in larger amounts for larger hydrocarbons.
