Question
Enter a balanced equation for the complete combustion of liquid C3H6OC3H6O.
Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

##### Explanation of Balanced Equation
In the context of this problem, the balanced chemical equation for the combustion of liquid \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O} \) involves the following steps:
1. **Write the unbalanced equation:**
\[ \text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O}_{(l)} + \text{O}_2_{(g)} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2_{(g)} + \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(g)} \]
2. **Balance the equation for the number of atoms of each element:**
- Count the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms on both reactant and product sides.
- Adjust coefficients to balance the atoms of each element, ensuring the law of conservation of mass is obeyed.
By following these steps, you will derive the balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of propanol ( \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_6\text{O} \) ).
For educational purposes, please refer to detailed materials or tutorials on balancing chemical equations if further clarification is needed.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fbc7df924-6a52-4175-b6ea-9e20e03510e5%2F9e135dfb-25a4-4913-9b88-3e7f36949376%2Fzkxfiik_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
