One of the more common combustion reactions is the combustion of an alkane in the presence of oxygen.
A general strategy for balancing these combustion reactions is to first balance the carbon (C) atom, followed by the hydrogen atoms (H) and then then oxygen (O) atoms.

4. Related Rates

If 2 variables both vary with respect to time and have a relation between them, we can express the rate of change of one in terms of the other.
We need to differentiate both sides w.r.t. (with respect to) time.
That is, we'll be finding `(df)/(dt)` for some function `f(t)`.
