Another product: CO₂
Further explanation
Given
Reaction
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8__+ 10H₂O

product compound
Solution
In the combustion of hydrocarbons there can be 2 kinds of products
If there is excess Oxygen, you will get Carbon dioxide(CO₂) and water in the product
If Oxygen is low, you'll get Carbon monoxide(CO) and water
Or in other ways, we can use the principle of the law of conservation of mass which is also related to the number of atoms in the reactants and in the products
if we look at the reaction above, there are C atoms on the left (reactants), so that in the product there will also be C atoms with the same number of C atoms on the left
2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂⇒ 8CO₂+ 10H₂O
