To balance the chemical equation, C6H6O(l) + O₂(g) → H₂O(g) + CO₂(g), you need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. Start by balancing the carbon atoms, then balance the hydrogen atoms. The final balanced equation is C6H6O(l) + O₂(g) → 6H₂O(g) + 6CO₂(g).
To balance the chemical equation, C6H6O(l) + O₂(g) → H₂O(g) + CO₂(g), we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
Let's start by balancing the carbon atoms. There are 6 carbon atoms on the left side and 1 carbon atom on the right side. To balance this, we can put a coefficient of 6 in front of CO₂, resulting in:
C6H6O(l) + O₂(g) → 6H₂O(g) + 6CO₂(g)
Next, let's balance the hydrogen atoms. There are 6 hydrogen atoms on the left side and 12 hydrogen atoms on the right side. To balance this, we can put a coefficient of 6 in front of H₂O, resulting in the balanced equation:
C6H6O(l) + O₂(g) → 6H₂O(g) + 6CO₂(g)
