Disposable lighters contain liquid butane (c4h10) that is vaporized and then burned to produce co2 and h2o. balance the chemical equation for this combustion reaction.

Butane () is a hydrocarbon used in disposable lighters. It undergoes a combustion reaction to produce a flammable gas.

Combustion reaction: This reaction occurs when a hydrocarbon reacts with oxygen to produce water and carbondioxide (). It is a exothermic reaction which means that heat is released during this reaction.

Now, we need to write a balanced equation for Combustion of butane.

Balancing a Chemical equation: For a chemical equation, a balanced equation is a equation in which the number of atoms for each element and the total charge are same for both reactants and products.

Balanced Equation,

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
