If by C-4 you mean the plastic explosive then your not actually dealing with a single compound but a mixture. The primary ingredient in C-4 is RDX and the chemical equation for that is (CH2-N-NO2)3

This is impossible, because the compound does NOT exist.
On the contrary the index-reversed formula C3H4 is the one for compound named propadiene H2C=C=CH2
or maybe C4H4 is meant: butatrieen H2C=C=C=CH2
C4 is RDX (cyclonite or cyclotrimethylene trinitramine), which makes up around 91% of C4 by mass. The plasticizer is diethylhexyl (5.3%) or dioctyl sebacate and the binder is usually polyisobutylene (2.1%). Another plasticizer used is dioctyl adipate (DOA). A small amount of SAE 10 non-detergent motor oil (1.6%) is also added. C4 is manufactured by combining the noted ingredients with binder dissolved in a solvent. The solvent is then evaporated and the mixture dried and filtered. The final material is an off-white solid with a texture similar to modelling clay.
The chemical formula for butane is C4H10. It is a colorless gas commonly used as a fuel due to its high energy density.
C4H8 is the chemical formula of butene, but also for some other organic compounds.
The chemical formula for butanal is CH3CH2CH2CHO.
Ch3ch3cclch3
C4H10 is the molecular formula for Butane. Butane has two possible *structural formulas* which describe the way in which the molecule is constructed. n-Butane has the condensed structural formula of CH3CH2CH2CH3. In this isomer of Butane each Carbon is bonded to another forming a chain with Hydrogens bonded to each of the carbons, 3 to the Carbon on each end, and 2 to each Carbon in the center. Isobutane has the condensed structural formula of CH(CH3)3. In this isomer, 3 Carbons are bonded to a single Carbon atom in the center of the molecule. The outer Carbons have 3 Hydrogens bonded to them, and the center Carbon has 1 Hydrogen bonded to it.
The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of butane (C4H10) with oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) is: 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 -> 8 CO2 + 10 H2O
This chemical equation is unbalanced. To balance it, start by balancing the carbons, then hydrogens, and finally oxygens. The balanced equation is: C4H10 + 6.5 O2 -> 4 CO2 + 5 H2O.
