Asked by Casey

It says to write the balanced equation for the complete combustion of cyclobutanol in Oxygen. I'm not even sure what the product is supposed to look like so how can I balance the equation? Please help.

C4H8O + O2 ---> C4H8O

The combustion products for hydrocarbons and oxygenated hydrocarbons are CO2 and H2O. Then you balance from there. Try it. It's relatively easy. So you want
C4H8O + O2 ==> CO2 + H2O.
Then balance.

So, 2C4H8O + 11O2 ---> 8CO2 + 8H2O

Is that right?
