<h3>
Answer:</h3>
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- The equation for the reaction shown represents the combustion of ethane.
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
- To balance the equation we put the coefficients, 2, 7, 4, and 6 on the reactants and products.
2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O
- Balancing chemical equations makes the number of atoms of each element equal on both side of the equation.
- It ensures that chemical equations obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical reactions.
Answer:
The coefficient is 1
Explanation:
CaO(s) + CO2(g) -> CaCO3(s)
In the balanced equation, the coefficient for CaO is 1
The coefficient represents the number of moles of a compound in the stoichiometry of the reaction
Answer:
In your case, you have 8 protons and 10 electrons. This means that the atom will carry a total 2 xx (1-) = 2- net charge. Therefore, you are dealing with an anion that carries a 2- net charge, i.e. it has two more electrons than it does protons.
