The second and first one but if it isn’t 2 choices then 1
Answer:
OCO
Another way of writing CO₂
Explanation:
A reaction equation has <u>reactants on the left</u> and <u>products on the right</u>.
The reactants are carbon and oxygen. The product is carbon dioxide.
C + O₂ → CO₂
You might see the equation both ways.
C + O₂ → OCO
C + O₂ in the products would mean no reaction has occurred. The problem can <u>solid carbon can burn in oxygen</u>, so a reaction will occur. For no reaction, you would put "NR" in the products.
<u>OCO is the structural way of writing CO₂.</u> Both have one carbon atom (C) and two oxygen atoms (O).
C + 2O is not possible. Oxygen, if alone, has to be at least O₂ because it's a <u>diatomic molecule</u>.
All are the same. It equals to the same thing.
I would always start by balancing your carbons, and then balancing the rest from there.
1. C2H5OH + O2 —> CO2 + H2O - You have two carbons on the left and one on the right. Multiply CO2 by 2.
C2H5OH + O2 —> 2CO2 + H2O
Now balance hydrogen. You have 6 on the left and 2 on the right. Multiply H2O by 3.
C2H5OH + O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O
Now balance oxygen. You have 3 on the left and 7 on the right. You need 4 more on the left. Don’t multiply the C2H5OH by anything because that will change the numbers of everything else too. Multiply O2 by 3 instead.
C2H5OH + 3O2 —> 2CO2 + 3H2O
Check that all atoms are now balanced, and you’re good.
2. Same process as before.
First carbons - C3H8 + O2 —> 3CO2 + H2O
Then hydrogens - C3H8 + O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Then oxygens - C3H8 + 5O2 —> 3CO2 + 4H2O
3. Same again.
Carbons) C6H12O6 + O2 —> 6CO2 + H2O
Hydrogens) C6H12O6 + O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O
Oxygens) C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O
4. The general reaction for a combustion reaction is a hydrocarbon reacting with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
