Write and balance a complete chemical reaction equation for the combustion of butane. Butane has carbon atoms. Butane has hydrogen atoms. Butane is considered. Which compound is needed for the complete combustion of butane

The balanced reaction is this:

2 C₄H₁₀ (g) + 13 O₂ (g) → 8 CO₂ (g) + 10 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction whose reagents are oxygen, usually in excess and a hydrocarbon to generate carbon dioxide and water in the form of steam, as products.

Butane is considered as a reactant and it is a sort of alkane, in this case with 4 C (prefix but).

O₂ is needed for the complete combustion of butane.
