Answer:
2C₂H₆ + [7]O₂ → [4]CO₂ + [6]H₂O
Explanation:
Chemical equation:
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Balanced chemical equation:
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Step 1:
2C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 1
H = 12 H = 2
O = 2 O = 3
Step 2:
2C₂H₆ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 4
H = 12 H = 2
O = 2 O = 9
Step 3:
2C₂H₆ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 4
H = 12 H = 12
O = 2 O = 14
Step 4:
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
Left hand side Right hand side
C = 4 C = 4
H = 12 H = 12
O = 14 O = 14
Carbon dioxide can’t exist in three states; Gas, Liquid & Solid. At normal temperatures and pressures, CO2 is colorless with a slightly pungent odor at high concentrations. If compressed and cooled to proper temperature the gas liquifies. Solid CO2, (dry ice) sublimates back to the natural gaseous state.
An acid has several definitions one would be that it is a proton donor and an electron donor. Also, it said to produce an H+ ion when in solution. For nitric acid in solution, it dissociates into ions which are NO- ions and H+ ions. So, it must be an acid. It has a dissociation reaction:
HNO3 = H+ + NO3-
