Predict the Products for the following reactions and write the chemical equation.

Combustion: Liquid Octane, C8H18 burn in oxygen gas.

how would you set this up and predict the product?

Thnx in advance whoever figures it out :)

Octane is a hydrocarbon (hydrogen and carbon only). When reacted with oxygen, the C is burned to CO2 and the hydrogen in burned to H2O. So the products of octane are CO2 and H2O.
