Question

A fuel is combined with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.

Answers

GPT 3.5
The chemical equation for the combustion of a fuel with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water is typically described as:

Fuel + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy

For example, the combustion of gasoline (a fuel) can be represented by the equation:

2C8H18 + 25O2 -> 16CO2 + 18H2O + Energy

In this reaction, 2 molecules of gasoline (C8H18) react with 25 molecules of oxygen (O2) to produce 16 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 18 molecules of water (H2O), along with the release of energy.
