QuestionBalance the following chemical equation (if necessary): $$\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{10}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$$

Studdy Solution
Verify that all elements are balanced:
- C: $2 \times 5 = 10$ on both sides - H: $2 \times 10 = 20$ on both sides - O: $15 \times 2 = 30$ on the left, $10 \times 1 + 10 \times 2 = 30$ on the right
All elements are balanced.
The balanced chemical equation is:
$$2\mathrm{C}_{5} \mathrm{H}_{10}(\mathrm{~g}) + 15\mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 10\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{~g}) + 10\mathrm{CO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})$$
