Answer:
2 CH2 + 3 O2 = 2 CO2 + 2 H2O
Explanation:
This is what I think that you meant by the question listed. When balancing a chemical equation, you want to make sure that there are equal amounts of each element on each side.
Originally, the equation's elements looked like this: 1 C on left & 1 C on right; 2 H on left & 2 H on right; 2 O on left and 3 O on right. Because these are not balanced, you need to add coefficients.
When adding coefficients, you need to make sure that all of the elements stay balanced, not just one that you are trying to fix. I know that some equations are really difficult to balance, and when that is the case, there are equation balancing websites that can help out.
However, what always helps me is making a chart and continuing to keep up with the changes I am making. It is a trial and error process.
Answer:
Vinegar is acidic => acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)
Explanation:
Vinegar consists of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂), water and trace amounts of other chemicals, which may include flavorings. The concentration of the acetic acid is variable. Distilled vinegar contains 5-8% acetic acid.
