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.
I'm pretty sure the answer is 1. I and III
Answer:
ionic bonding occurs between ions and covalent bonding occurs when atoms have electrons in common (they share).
