Chapter 9, Problem 9.5YT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical equation for the combustion of butane $\left({\text{C}}_4{\text{H}}_{10}\right)$ is to be written.

Concept introduction:

The chemical reactions having an equivalent number of atoms in each element on both sides and the same total charge for reactants and products are said to be balanced chemical equations.

Combustion of butane is a combustion reaction in which burning produces heat and light.
