Question 5 2 pts
Balancing the following equation. Please use numerical answers
and use the number one instead of leaving it blank for this activity.
HC2H3O2+O2 ---> CO2+H20

Please help in balancing this equation

HC₂H₃O₂ + 2O₂ —> 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 2, 2, 2

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

HC₂H₃O₂ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

We can balance the above equation as follow:

HC₂H₃O₂ + O₂ —> CO₂ + H₂O

There are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂O as shown below:

HC₂H₃O₂ + O₂ —> CO₂ + 2H₂O

There are 2 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before CO₂ as shown below:

HC₂H₃O₂ + O₂ —> 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

There are 4 atoms of O on the left side and a total of 6 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before O₂ as shown below:

HC₂H₃O₂ + 2O₂ —> 2CO₂ + 2H₂O

Now the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 1, 2, 2, 2

h let me think

answer is: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

this is chemical change (chemical reaction), because two new substances are formed (metalig liquid and gas), the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

this is example of chemical decomposition.

chemical decomposition (analysis) is the separation of a single chemical compound into its two or more elemental parts or to simpler compounds.  

chemical decomposition is opposite of chemical synthesis.
