The balanced form of this equation is:
C3H8 + 5 O2 = 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
If you mean how you would read this, it would be:
Propane combined with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water vapor.
2(C2H6) + 7(O2) = 4(CO2) + 6(H2O)
Let's go through this.
Any time you burn a hydrocarbon, with one exception, two things can happen:
The desired effect happens when you've got plenty of oxygen, in which case you get carbon dioxide plus water.
That doesn't happen all that often; the usual effect is the hydrogen, being the most reactive element, grabs as much oxygen as it wants. Then the carbon will take oxygen as it can get it, giving you a mixture of carbon black (pure carbon), carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. If you want carbon monoxide--it's an industrial chemical used to make many things--this is fine. Most of us don't want it. Carbon black is soot. Because of the nature of the carbon atom it will link into a pure carbon structure if it doesn't have another, more reactive element to hook up to.
The reason for all the ethane and oxygen molecules is, all chemical reactions have to balance.
Acetylene is the exception to the rule because it's got a two-stage combustion reaction. The first stage produces water vapor and carbon monoxide--never carbon dioxide. The heat of combustion ignites the carbon monoxide, which evolves to carbon dioxide with the addition of a little oxygen.
C3H8 + 5O2 ------> 3CO2 + 4H2O + Heat/Light energy
Yes, when ignited.
C3H6O + 4O2--> 3CO2 + 3H2O
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6H2O + 6CO2 equation for cellular respiration
C2h4 + 3o2 --> 2co2 + 2h2o
why does the computer change my capital letters H, C, O in the above?
12 co2 + 6 h2o
C2h4 + 3 o2 = 2 co2 + h2o + heat
6co2 + 6h2o -> c6h12o6 + 6o2 Site messes up again! All letters capitals
Combustion reaction
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energyEnergy comes in the form of ATP, adenosine triphosphate, the energy rich molecule in living cells (act as chemical 'battery')It would be very useful to write CaPiTaLs when needed! (eg. chemical symbols)
O2

6 CO2 + 12 H2O --> C6h12O6 + 9 O2
This is the chemical equation of photosynthesis.
"Production of glucose in plants"
"Production of glucose in plants"
6co2 + 6h2o -> c6h12o6 + 6o2 Site messes up again! All letters capitals
2NH4Cl + Na2CO3 --> 2NH3 + CO2 + H2O + 2NaCl
CO2 H2O- C6H12O6 6O2 6H2O is NOT a chemical reaction. Where are the reactants and the products? Is it CO2 + H2O ==> C6H12O6 + O2 ? That would be an unbalanced equation whose balanced equation would be6CO2 + 6H2O ==> C6H12O6 + 9O2 (NOTE: no H2O on the right side)
photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H20 +energy yields C6H12O6 + 6O2. This is the equation for photosynthesis.
No. The correct one is CO + H2O ----> HCOOH (Formic acid)
Li2CO3 + 2HNO3 ---> H2O + CO2 + 2LiNO3
Photosynthesis: CO2 + H2O --> C6H12O6 + O2 Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O reactants and products are switched
