Propane (c₃h₈) burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. what is the correct form of the chemical equation that describes this reaction?

The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Propane is a hydrocarbon that has only single bonds in its structure so it is an alkane.

Propane formula = C₃H₈

Oxygen formula = O₂

Carbon dioxide formula = CO₂

Water formula = H₂O

Reaction:

                         C₃H₈  +   5O₂   ⇒    3CO₂   +   4H₂O

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
