हिन्दीWhat is the coefficient of \( \text{O}_2 \) when balancing the combustion of propane: \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{(g)} + \text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} + \text{H}_2\text{O}\text{(l)} \)?
Correct answer · Option 3
5
Explanation
Balanced equation: \( \text{C}_3\text{H}_8\text{(g)} + 5\text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightarrow 3\text{CO}_2\text{(g)} + 4\text{H}_2\text{O}\text{(l)} \). The coefficient of \( \text{O}_2 \) is 5.
