The answer is C in this question.
<u>Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon</u>:
<em>Original Question: C₂H₅OH + __O₂ → __CO₂ + __ H₂O</em>
<u>To balance this equation</u>:
⇒ must ensure that there is an equal number of elements on both sides of the equation at all times
<u>Let's start balancing:</u>
- On the left side of the equation, there are 2 carbon molecule
⇒ but only so far one on the right side
C<em>₂H₅OH + __O₂ → 2CO₂ + __ H₂O</em>
- On the left side of the equation, there are 6 hydrogen molecules
⇒ but only so far two on the right side
C<em>₂H₅OH + __O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>
- On the right side of the equation, there are 7 oxygen molecules
⇒ but only so far three on the left side
C<em>₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>
<u>Let's check and make sure we got the answer:</u>
C<em>₂H₅OH + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 3H₂O</em>
<em> 2 Carbon ⇔ 2 Carbon</em>
<em> 6 Hydrogen ⇔ 6 Hydrogen</em>
<em> 7 Oxygen ⇔ 7 oxygen</em>
<u>Thefore the coefficients in order are</u>:
⇒ 1, 3, 2, 3
<u>Answer: 1,3,2,3</u>
Hope that helps!

Answer: C
Explanation:
Bro this is common sense. Throw something across the room and watch it. It isnt going to be repulsed and fly up. It also isnt going to continue on forever. It will clearly fall and hit the ground
