Question

Heptane (C7H16) is a hydrocarbon fuel used for gas barbecues. Balance the chemical equation (given below) for the reaction that occurs when heptane burns in air. What are the coefficients in the balanced equation

Answer 1

Answer:

a = 1, b = 11, c = 7, d = 8

Explanation:

aC7H16 + bO2 ------> cCO2 + dH2O

1 C7H16 + 11 O2 ------> 7 CO2 + 8H2O

I guess this is what you mean..if it is, don't forget to mark me brainliest
