- (a) Butane gas, C4H10, can burn completely in air [use O2(g) as the other reactant] to give carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Write a balanced equation for this combustion reaction. (b) Write a balanced chemical equation for the complete combustion of C3H7BO3, a gasoline additive. The products of combustion are CO2(g), H2O(g), and B2O3(s).arrow_forward3.92 Many chemical reactions take place in the catalytic con- verter of a car. In one of these reactions, nitric oxide (NO) reacts with ammonia (NH3) to give nitrogen (N2) and water. Write a balanced equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardThe reusable booster rockets of the U.S. space shuttle employ a mixture of aluminum and ammonium perchlorate for fuel.
