Step 1: Write Imbalance Equation
CH₃CHO + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Step 2: Balance Carbon Atoms:
There are 2 carbon atoms at reactant side and one at product side. So multiply CO₂ with 2 to balance them. i.e.
CH₃CHO + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + H₂O
Step 3: Balance Hydrogen Atoms:
There are 4 hydrogen atoms at reactant side and 2 Hydrogen atoms at product side. So, multiply H₂O by 2 to balance Hydrogen on both sides. i.e.
CH₃CHO + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 2 H₂O
Step 4: Balance Oxygen Atoms:
There are 3 Oxygen atoms at reactant side and 6 Oxygen atoms at product side. In order to balance them multiply O₂ on reactant side by 2.5 (5/2). i.e
CH₃CHO + 5/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 2 H₂O
Step 6: Eliminate Fraction:
Multiply overall equation by 2 to eliminate fraction. i.e.
2 CH₃CHO + 5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 4 H₂O
Iron is matter; since the smallest unit of matter is atoms, iron could be brokolen down into atoms. unlike iron, water is a molecule made from atoms that were chemically combined, so water could be broken down into molecules.
There are negative ions and positive ions known as anions and cations.
Atoms of elements (besides the noble gases) are not stable.
These atoms lose or gain electrons to gain the stable electronic configuration of a noble gas which has either 2 electrons or 8 electrons in the valence shell.
Since an atom is neutral, once it loses or gain electrons, it gains charge and is known as an ion
