There are, 7 Carbon atoms, 10 Oxygen atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms in the reactants and 1 Carbon atom, 3 Oxygen atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms in the products.
<h3>How to count the number of atoms in reactants and products?</h3>
- Write down the chemical formula that is:
+
→
+
+
- List all the atoms present in the equation:
C
H
O
- Count the number of atoms of the element of each molecule in the reactant.
C=6
O=8
H=12
- Count the number of atoms of the element of each molecule in the Product.
C=1
O=8
H=2
Hence there are, 6 Carbon atoms, 8 Oxygen atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms in the reactants and 1 Carbon atom, 3 Oxygen atoms, 2 Hydrogen atoms in the products.
