Propane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.
C3H8 + 5 O2 --> 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
Propane and oxygen are the reactants, water and carbon dioxide are the products.

Propane is a three-carbon alkane, normally a gas, but compressible to a liquid that is transportable.
formula: C3H8
Propane undergoes combustion reactions in a similar fashion to other alkanes. In the presence of excess oxygen, propane burns to form water and carbon dioxide.
C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
When not enough oxygen is present for complete combustion, propane burns to form water and carbon monoxide.
2 C3H8 + 7 O2 → 6 CO + 8 H2O

Propane is a three-carbon alkane, regularly a gasoline, yet compressible to a liquid it extremely is portable. formulation: C3H8 Propane undergoes combustion reactions further to different alkanes. interior the presence of extra oxygen, propane burns to form water and carbon dioxide. C3H8 + 5 O2 ? 3 CO2 + 4 H2O whilst no longer adequate oxygen is present day for finished combustion, propane burns to form water and carbon monoxide. 2 C3H8 + 7 O2 ? 6 CO + 8 H2O

C3 H8+5O2-->3CO2+4H20 This is for complete combustion. When there is enough oxygen for each propane molecule.
