Question

Balance the combustion reaction shown below. In order to get the correct answer, you must balance the equation so that you get whole numbers for each of the coefficients. Enter the integer coefficients as your answers (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.). If you get a non-integer coefficient (e.g. 13/2) multiply all of the coefficients by 2 to get the smallest possibleinteger values.

Explanation / Answer

given reaction is C5H12 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O

balanced equation is C5H12 + 8 O2 ---> 5CO2 + 6 H2O

coefficients are 1,8,5,6
