The balanced equation for this combustion reaction is:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

where 1 mol of propane reacts to 5 moles of oxygen in order to produce 3 moles of carbon dioxide and 4 moles of water.

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Examples:

hydrogen + oxygen ---> water.

iron + oxygen ---> rust.

potassium and chlorine gas ---> chloride.

lime + carbon dioxide ---> calcium carbonate (used to strengthen masonry)

water + carbon dioxide + light ---> glucose and oxygen (photosynthesis)
