Question

For below checmical equation (which may or may not be balanced), list the number of each type of atom on each side of the equation, and determine if the equation is balanced.
2 C6H14(l) + 19 O2(g) -------> 12 CO2(g) + 14 H2O(g)

Answer 1

Answer:

Left hand side:-

Carbon - 12

HYdrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Right hand side:-

Carbon - 12

Hydrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Since, the number of atoms each side are equal, the reaction is balanced.

Explanation:

The given reaction is:-

$2C_6H_{14}_{(l)}+19O_2_{(g)}\rightarrow 12CO_2_{(g)}+14H_2O_{(g)}$

Left hand side:-

Carbon - 12

HYdrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Right hand side:-

Carbon - 12

Hydrogen - 28

Oxygen - 38

Since, the number of atoms each side are equal, the reaction is balanced.
