Answer:
[tex]C_{10}H_{8}+12O_2\rightarrow 10CO_2+4H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since combustion reactions yield carbon dioxide and water via the following equation:
[tex]fuel+O_2\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O[/tex]
In such a way, for naphthalene, its combustion reaction is:
[tex]C_{10}H_{8}+12O_2\rightarrow 10CO_2+4H_2O[/tex]
Whereas we see ten carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms and twenty four oxygen atoms at both reactants and products as a proof of the law conservation of mass.
Regards.
