Question

Classify each substance as either a reactant or product in the chemical reaction. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. ethanol, carbon dioxide, water, oxygen

Answer 1

`C_2H_5OH` and
`O_2` are reactants.

`CO_2` and
`H_2O` are products.

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

In the balanced chemical reaction, the reactants and products are separated by right arrow.

The species present on the left side of the right arrow is the reactant and the species present on the right side of the right arrow is the product.

When ethanol react with oxygen gas then it gives carbon dioxide and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be:

`C_2H_5OH+3O_2\rightarrow 2CO_2+3H_2O`

In the given balanced reaction,

`C_2H_5OH` and
`O_2` are reactants.

`CO_2` and
`H_2O` are products.
