What is the balanced symbol equation for the combustion of butane?

The balanced symbol equation for the combustion of butane (C₄H₁₀) in oxygen (O₂) is:

[ 2 , \text{C}4\text{H}{10} + 13 , \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 8 , \text{CO}_2 + 10 , \text{H}_2\text{O} ]

This equation shows that two molecules of butane react with thirteen molecules of oxygen to produce eight molecules of carbon dioxide and ten molecules of water.
