### Combustion Reaction of Hexane**Example Question:**(4.2, Similar to For Practice 4.2) Write a balanced equation for the combustion of hexane (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} \)) in which it combines with gaseous oxygen to form gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. The smallest possible set of whole-number coefficients has been used.**Question:**What is the coefficient of \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} \) when the reaction is balanced?---**Answer Options:**- ○ 3- ○ 4- ○ 1- ○ 2### Detailed Explanation:The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of hexane (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} \)) is as follows:\[ \text{2 C}_6\text{H}_{14} + 19 \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 12 \text{CO}_2 + 14 \text{H}_2\text{O} \]To balance the equation, we follow these steps:1. **Write the unbalanced equation:**\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]2. **Balance the carbon atoms:** - There are 6 carbon atoms in \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} \), so we need 6 CO₂ molecules on the products side:\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6 \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \]3. **Balance the hydrogen atoms:** - There are 14 hydrogen atoms in \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} \), so we need 7 \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \) molecules on the products side:\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{14} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 6 \text{CO}_2 + 7 \text{H}_2\text{O} \]4. **Balance the oxygen atoms:** -
