Balancing Combustion Reactions:
In order to successfully balance a combustion reaction of an organic molecule, we have to follow the steps described below:
- Balance the carbon atoms as our first step.
- Balance the hydrogen atoms as a second step.
- Balance the oxygen atoms calculating the total number of oxygen atoms on the product side and adding an appropriate coefficient in front of molecular oxygen.
- If the coefficient added is fractional, multiply both sides by the denominator of that coefficient to obtain whole coefficients.
