Answer
C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Explanation
This is a chemical equation for the combustion of propane. Propane is C3H8 and when it burns (reacts with oxygen O2), it forms carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as mentioned in this chemical equation. However, in order to balance this equation, we need to ensure there are same number of atoms of each element on both of the sides of this equation.
