What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?

2C4H10 + 13O2 →

+ 10H2O

8CO₂

Explanation:

We are given;

Butane, C₄H₁₀ Butane is a hydrocarbon in the homologous series known as alkane.

We are required to determine the other product produced in the combustion of butane apart from water.

We know that the complete combustion of alkane yields carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, combustion of butane will yield carbon dioxide and water. The balanced equation for the complete combustion of butane will be;

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O
