Question

A chemical equation is shown:

C2H4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

According to the law of conservation of mass, how many atoms of oxygen exist in the products of this reaction? (3 points)

Answer 1

Answer:6

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

C2H4 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

eqn is unbalanced - balancing by counting no. of C n H atoms

C=2 n H=4 in one C2H4

so the reaction will form two CO2 + two H2O

counting no. of O atoms: 2*2 + 2*1

=4+2
