Balancing Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry

Very Easy General Chemistry Stoichiometry And Chemical Reactions

In a balanced chemical reaction, the law of conservation of mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Given the unbalanced reaction below:

$$ ext{C}_3 ext{H}_8 + ext{O}_2 ightarrow ext{CO}_2 + ext{H}_2 ext{O}$$

What is the correct coefficient for oxygen (O2) when the equation is balanced?
