Question

Hi everyone, I'm really stuck on a question for my uni assignment, i just dont understand chemistry at all, i was wondering if anybody could help me please

I need to balance C2H6 and explain how I balanced it but I just dont understand how

Answer 1

Answer : 2C + 3H2 -> C2H6

Step and explanation

Condition : graphite + hydrogen gas

Chemical formula : C + H2

Reaction formula :

C + H2 -> C2H6

#First, you see the number of atom

•Product

C = 1

H = 2

•Reactant

C = 2

H = 6

#Note that, in a chemical reaction both number of each atom in product must be equal in reactant so, you think what number you need to put Infront of the chemical formula so that the number of atom equal

2C + 3H2 -> C2H6

#Now check again

•Product

C = 2

H = 6

•Reactant

C = 2

H6

#Now, its equal. The bold one is the balance chemical reaction

Note (just incase u dont know)

Reactant -> product (the thing you get after reaction)
