I believe the answer to this is A.
A periodic table is tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number,electronic configuration and recurring chemical properties. carbon is in group 14 and period two. The atomic mass of carbon from periodic table is 12.01 g/mole
The
reaction is<span>
C</span>₂H₄ +
O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O<span>
To balance the equation, both side have same
number of elements. Here,</span>
In left hand
side has
in right hand side has
4 H atoms
2 H
atoms
2 C atoms 1 C
atom
<span>
2 O atoms 3 O
atoms
First, we have to balance number of C atoms and number of H atoms in both side.
To balance C atoms, '2' should be added before CO</span>₂ and to balance H atoms, '2' should be added
before H₂<span>O.
Then number of oxygen atoms is </span>2 x 2 + 2 = 6 in right hand side. So, 3 should be
added before O₂<span> in left hand side.
After balancing the equation should be,</span>
C₂H₄<span> + 3O</span>₂<span> → 2CO</span>₂<span> + 2H</span>₂O
