Write and balance a complete chemical reaction equation for the combustion of butane. Butane has carbon atoms. Butane has hydrogen atoms. Butane is considered . Which compound is needed for the complete combustion of butane

The balanced reaction is this:

2 C₄H₁₀ (g)  +  13 O₂(g) →  8 CO₂(g) +  10 H₂O (g)

Explanation:

Combustion is a chemical reaction whose reagents are oxygen, usually in excess and a hydrocarbon to generate carbon dioxide and water in the form of steam, as products.

Butane is considered as a reactant and it is a sort of alkane, in this case with 4 C (prefix but).

O₂ is needed for the complete combustion of butane.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
