Propane is a hydrocarbon that needs an abundant amount of oxygen to burn and yields carbon dioxide and water, as shown in the equation. When propane is burned, a chemical reaction occurs, and all the atoms and molecules
are rearranged in the end product. Energy is needed to break the methane and oxygen bonds. Once all the bonds
have been broken, new bonds are formed in the end product of carbon dioxide and water, releasing heat and
energy
