Which number should be placed before H20 on the products side of the equation to
make the equation balanced? C3H8 +502 — 3C02 +H20
O2
05

Explanation:

•  Propane when reacts with oxygen it gives carbon dioxide and water.

Add 4 as a coefficient before on L.H.S (Left Hand Side) of Equation.

• Therefore, the required balanced equation is:

Propane, when added with 5 molecules of Water, yields 3 molecules of Carbon Dioxide and 4 molecules of water, as shown in the below equation -

answer; i believe the correct answer is (solid gold);

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !
