Express the equilibrium constant for the combustion of propane in the balanced chemical equation c3h8(g)+5o2((g)+4h2o(g)

if you mean hydrogen and oxygen then water is the product

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
