Answer:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Step-by-step explanation:

When C5H7ON3S2 under go Combustion, the following are obtained as illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

Now, let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:

C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + N2 + S2

There are 3 atoms of N on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of C5H7ON3S2 and 6 in front of N2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 20 atoms of C on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 20 in front of CO2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 28 atoms on H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 14 in front of H2O as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + S2

There are 8 atoms of S on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of S2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, there are a total of 54 atoms of O on the right side and 6 atoms on the left side

It can be balance by putting 25 in front of O2 as shown below:

4C5H7ON3S2 + 25O2 —> 20CO2 + 14H2O + 6N2 + 4S2

Now, we can see that the equation is balanced.
