<u>Answer:</u> The coefficients for balancing the given chemical equation are 2, 7, 4 and 6

<u>Explanation:</u>

Every balanced chemical equation follows law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed, but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on the reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

The given balanced chemical equation follows:

2C_2H_6+7O_2\rightarrow 4CO_2+6H_2O

<u>On reactant side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 4

Number of hydrogen atoms = 12

Number of oxygen atoms = 14

<u>On product side:</u>

Number of carbon atoms = 4

Number of hydrogen atoms = 12

Number of oxygen atoms = 14

Hence, the coefficients for balancing the given chemical equation are 2, 7, 4 and 6

Would the ph at the equivalence point be acidic, basic, or neutral for each given titration?.
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

At the equivalence point, equal amounts of H+ and OH– ions will combine to form H2O, resulting in a pH of 7.0 (neutral). The pH at the equivalence point for this titration will always be 7.0, note that this is true only for titrations of strong acid with strong base.
