When we increase the surface area of an object, more atoms are exposed. Since more atoms are exposed, the atoms can react faster, and this is why the rate of a reaction increases when the surface area increases.
For example, lets say we want to heat a potato. If we just put the whole potato in the microwave, it will take a long time for the potato to get thoroughly heated. However, if we chop the potato into smaller pieces, we will observe that it gets heated much faster. This is because we increased the surface area of the potato, which resulted in more potato atoms to be exposed to the heat, and caused the reaction to be faster.
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.
