Question

Isopropanol burns in oxygen to yield carbon dioxide, water, and heat. Which word equation best represents this chemical

reaction?
isopropanol carbon dioxide + water + heat
isopropanol - carbon dioxide + water + oxygen
isopropanol + oxygen - carb&dioxide + water + heat
isopropanol + oxygen + heat → carbon dioxide + water

Answer 1

isopropanol + oxygen - carbon dioxide + water + heat

Answer 2

Answer: The word equation for the given chemical equation is given below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Word equation is defined as the equation in which substances are written in word form and not in chemical formulas. The words "and" or "plus" means that one substance and another substance are both reactants or products.

We are given:

Isopropanol burns in oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide, water and heat

The word equation for this follows:

`\text{Isopropanol}+\text{oxygen}\rightarrow \text{Carbon dioxide}+\text{water}+\text{heat}`

Hence, the word equation for the given chemical equation is given above.
