Propane is a hydrocarbon that needs an abundant amount of oxygen to burn and yields carbon dioxide and water, as shown in the equation. When propane is burned, a chemical reaction occurs, and all the atoms and molecules are rearranged in the end product. Energy is needed to break the methane and oxygen bonds. Once all the bonds have been broken, new bonds are formed in the end product of carbon dioxide and water, releasing heat and energy. C3H8 +5O2 3CO₂ + 4H₂O What is this type of reaction called? A. synthesis reaction B. combustion reaction C. combination reaction D. double replacement reaction
