The word equation for a candle burning in the air is: Wax + Oxygen → Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light + Heat.
Ca+O=CaO
The word equation for the burning of octane in air is: octane + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water.
The balanced chemical equation for burning C18H38 in air is: 2C18H38 + 55O2 → 36CO2 + 38H2O
ethanol + oxygen ----> Carbon Dioxide + water (assume complete combustion) CH3CH2OH + 3O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3H2O *also, when a compound is burning,we chemists use the term Combustion, which refers to the exothermic reactions which occur between some fuel source and an oxidant. Thus, "Ethanol burning in air" is rather redundant :]
Sodium particularly reacts with the Oxygen in the Air while burning. Sodium + Oxygen ----> Sodium oxide
The word equation is magnesium + oxygen(air) = magnesium oxide. The Balanced chemical eq'n is 2Mg(s) + O2(g) = 2MgO(s)
The balanced chemical equation for methane (CH4) burning in air (O2) is: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
The word equation for methane burning in air is: Methane (CH4) + Oxygen (O2) -> Carbon dioxide (CO2) + Water (H2O).
For coal is carbon burning:C + O2 = CO2
The word equation for the reaction between sulfur and air is: sulfur + oxygen → sulfur dioxide.
If there is an excess of air, the reaction should produce diphosphorus pentoxide as its only product. If additionally the phosphorus molecule is simply a phosphorus atom, the balanced equation is: 4 P + 5 O2 -> 2P2O5. If phosphorus is considered to form a tetraatomic molecule, the equation would be: P4 + 5 O2 -> 2 P2O5
