Chegg Identify the type of reaction [(combination (c), decomposition (d), combustion (co), single replacement (sr), double replacement (dr) , or neutralization (n)] and write a balanced equation. If there is no reaction, write NR. Gaseous propane (C3H8) reacts with gaseous oxygen.

Combustion (co)

Explanation:

Let's consider the reaction between gaseous propane and gaseous oxygen to produce gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water.

C₃H₈(g) + 5 O₂(g) ⇒ 3 CO₂(g) + 4 H₂O(g)

The reaction between an organic compound and oxygen to produce a compound of carbon and water is known as a combustion reaction. If the product is CO₂, the combustion is complete. If the product is CO or C, the combustion is incomplete.
