Question

What is the coefficient in front of O2 when the reaction below is balanced with the lowest whole number ratio?

_________ C3H2(g) + ________ O2(g)
_________ CO2(g) + __________ H2O(g)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient in front of O2 when the reaction is balanced with the lowest whole number ratio is 5. The balanced equation is:

3C3H2(g) + 5O2(g) -------------> 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(g)
