Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂<span>O
There are 2 C at left hand side and 1 carbon at right hand side. So, multiply CO</span>₂ by 2 to balance C atoms at both side. So,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + H₂O
Now, count number of H atoms at both sides. There are 6 H atoms at left hand side and 2 at right hand side. Multiply H₂O by 3 to balance H atoms.
C₂H₆ + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
At last, balance O atoms. There are 2 O atoms at left hand side and 3 O atoms at right hand side. Multiply O₂ with 1.5 (i.e. 3/2) to balance O atoms. i.e.
C₂H₆ + 3/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
Hence, the equation is balanced. If you want to make equation fraction free then multiply all equation with 2. i.e.
( C₂H₆ + 3/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O ) × 2
2 C₂H₆ + 3 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
This equation represents a single replacement reaction. Single replacement reactions consist of one element reacting with one compound on the reactant side (left side of the equation) and they form one new element and one new compound on the product side of the equation (right side).
Answer:
There was an improvement in accuracy. There was no change in precision.
Explanation:
<em>The average mass after recalibration is closer to the mass of the standard, </em>so the recalibration improved the accuracy<em> </em>(the measurement is closer to an accepted 'true' value).
The standard deviation did not change, so the precision (or how disperse the measurements are) was not affected.
In living things, the source of the carbon-14 that is used in radiocarbon dating is carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Living things inhale oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which is why the air and atmosphere are so full of it.
Answer:
Chemical reaction A, because the reactant is a compound
Explanation:
In a decomposition reaction, a compound is broken down into its components, so the number of products is greater than the number of reactants
