Stoichometry of chemical equations
My chemistry book asks the question:
Write the balanced equation for the complete combustion of each of the following compounds:
a. ethane, C2 H6
The book has the answer which reads:
2C2h6 + 7O2 I don't understand where the formula for 7 02
b. cyclopropane
I understand the formula C3H10 but I don't understand the "addition" of a 2 in front - and where the number for the oxygen comes in.
Answer says: 2C3H6 + 9 02
The book only gives the answer but does not explain specifically the math.
