Question

C9H20 +
02 - > CO2 +
H2O

what is the balanced equation of this

Answer 1

Hey there!

C₉H₂O + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

First let's balance the C.

There's 9 on the left and 1 on the right. So, let's add a coefficient of 9 in front of CO₂.

C₉H₂O + O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O

Next let's balance the H.

There's 2 on the left and 2 on the right. This means it's already balanced.

C₉H₂O + O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O

Lastly, let's balance the O.

There's 3 on the left and 19 on the right. So, let's add a coefficient of 9 in front of O₂.

C₉H₂O + 9O₂ → 9CO₂ + H₂O

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!
