Question #72655

A gas grill burns Propane (C3H8) in the presence of more than sufficient Oxygen (O2). This reaction produces water vapor and Carbon Dioxide. The temperature and pressure conditions are such that 1 mole of each gas occupies 1 liter of volume.

What is the balanced equation for this reaction?

A. C3H8 + 4O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O
B. C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
C. 2C3H8 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 8H2O
D. 2C3H8 + 5O2 → 6CO2 + 4H2O
E. None of the Above
