Carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

Under conditions of complete combustion, a hydrocarbon is always combusted to carbon dioxide and water:

$C_{3} H_{8} (g) + 5 O_{2} (g) \to 3 C O_{2} (g) + 4 H_{2} O (g)$ $C_3H_8(g) + 5O_2(g) rarr 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)$

Is this reaction stoichiometrically balanced? How do you know?

Can you do the same thing with pentane, $C_{5} H_{12}$ $C_5H_12$ , with butane, $C_{4} H_{10}$ $C_4H_10$ ? Why does butane have different stoichiometry?
