    2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

    Explanation:

    When isopropyl alcohol burns in the presence of oxygen it gives carbondioxide and water. The chemical equation is given below:

    Word equation:

    Propanol + oxygen → carbondioxide + water

    Chemical equation:

    C₃H₇OH + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

    Balanced chemical equation:

    2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ → 6CO₂ + 8H₂O

    There are six carbon atoms sixteen hydrogen atoms, twenty oxygen atoms are present on both side of equation. That's why equation is correctly balanced.
