Tetracarbon decahydride is another name for butane (C₄H₁₀). The reaction of butane with oxygen is a combustion reaction. Here's the balanced equation:

2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

Explanation:

* Reactants:

* Butane (C₄H₁₀): A hydrocarbon fuel.

* Oxygen (O₂): The oxidizer needed for combustion.

* Products:

* Carbon dioxide (CO₂): A product of complete combustion.

* Water (H₂O): Another product of complete combustion.

Balancing the equation:

* Carbon (C): There are 4 carbon atoms on the left side (in C₄H₁₀) and 8 on the right side (in CO₂). To balance this, we need a coefficient of 2 in front of C₄H₁₀.

* Hydrogen (H): There are 10 hydrogen atoms on the left side (in C₄H₁₀) and 10 on the right side (in H₂O). This is already balanced.

* Oxygen (O): There are 2 oxygen atoms on the left side (in O₂) and 26 on the right side (in CO₂ and H₂O). To balance this, we need a coefficient of 13 in front of O₂.

By adjusting the coefficients, the number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation is now equal.
