Carbon dioxide and water are produced when pentane (c5h12) reacts with oxygen. what is the balanced equation for this reaction

The balanced equation for the reaction between pentane (C₅H₁₂) and oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) is:

The equation for the reaction between pentane and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water can be written as follow:

Pentane => C₅H₁₂

Oxygen => O₂

Carbon dioxide => CO₂  

Water => H₂O

Pentane + Oxygen —> Carbon dioxide + Water

C₅H₁₂ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

The above equation can be balance as follow:

C₅H₁₂ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 5 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 5 before CO₂ as shown below:

C₅H₁₂ + O₂ —> 5CO₂ + H₂O

There are 12 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 6 before H₂O as shown below:

C₅H₁₂ + O₂ —> 5CO₂ + 6H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 16 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 8 before O₂ as shown below:

C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂ —> 5CO₂ + 6H₂O

Now, the equation is balanced.

answer: i have one answer

acids are substances that ionize (break off) in an aqueous solution to produce hydrogen (h+) ions

explanation:

hope this and sorry i could only come up with one answer!
