Solution 2

The correct balanced combustion reaction is C. C4H6 + 11O2 4CO2 + 3H2O.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. Write down the unbalanced equation: C4H6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
  2. Balance the carbon atoms first: C4H6 + O2 -> 4CO2 + H2O
  3. Balance the hydrogen atoms next: C4H6 + O2 -> 4CO2 + 3H2O
  4. Finally, balance the oxygen atoms: C4H6 + 11O2 -> 4CO2 + 3H2O

So, the correct answer is C.

Solution 3

The correct answer is C. C4H6 + 11O2 4CO2 + 3H2O.

Here's the step by step process:

  1. First, balance the carbon (C) atoms. There are 4 carbon atoms on the left side of the equation (in C4H6), so you need 4CO2 on the right side to balance it.

  2. Next, balance the hydrogen (H) atoms. There are 6 hydrogen atoms on the left side (in C4H6), so you need 3H2O on the right side to balance it (since each H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms).

  3. Finally, balance the oxygen (O) atoms. On the right side, you now have 42 (from CO2) + 31 (from H2O) = 11 oxygen atoms. So you need 11O2 on the left side to balance it (since each O2 has 2 oxygen atoms).

So the balanced equation is C4H6 + 11O2 4CO2 + 3H2O.
