Question

A chemical equation is shown: C2H4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O According to the law of conservation of mass, how many atoms of oxygen exist in the products of this reaction? (3 points) 2 4 6 8

Answer 1

Answer:

6 oxygens on the product side

Explanation:

1) balance the equation:

C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
