<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.
The logarithm from my understanding can never be negative. You can check this on a calculator. You may have a negative if it is shown as -(log x).
