    C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (l)

    (option D. with the proviso that the subscripts of propane's chemical formula must be corrected)

    Explanation:

    Propane is the saturated hydrocarbon, alkane, with chemical formula C₃H₈ or CH₃CH₂CH₃.

    The complete combustion of the hydrocarbons yield carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).

    The chemical equation that represents this combustion is:

    C₃H₈ (g) + O₂ (g) → CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l) (skeleton equation: unbalanced)

    Once you balance it, you get:

    C₃H₈ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 3CO₂ (g) + 4H₂O (l)

    Left side Right side

    C 3 3

    H 8 4*2 = 8

    O 5*2 = 10 3*2 + 4 = 10

    That equation corresponds to the option D. of the list, with the proviso that the subscripts of propane's chemical formula must be corrected
