Question

Pretest: Unit 4
Question 10 of 30
What is the balanced form of the chemical equation shown below?
C2H5OH() + O2(g) → H20() + CO2(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

C2H5OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 3H2O

Step-by-step explanation:

Balanced, there is:

- 2 Carbons coming from the ethanol going into the Carbon Dioxide.

- 6 Hydrogens coming from the ethanol going into the water

- 1 Oxygen coming from the ethanol and 6 Oxygens coming from 3O2 going (so 7 in reactants) going to 4 in the Carbon Dioxide and 3 to the Water
