Balance the following reaction. leave the box empty if no other coefficient is needed. c2h5 + o2 → co2 +h2o

-

4C₂H₅ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

Explanation: -

The given equation is

C₂H₅ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Balancing for H,

2C₂H₅ + O₂ → CO₂ + 5H₂O

Balancing for C

2C₂H₅ + O₂ → 4CO₂ + 5H₂O

Now right hand side we are getting 13 O which is an odd number.

In order to balance O, we first try to even out the number of O on right side by multiplying whole equation by 2.

4C₂H₅ + 2O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Now balancing for O

4C₂H₅ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O

it is important to conserve water because there is very limited amount of freshwater here on earth and if we are not smart about how we use it we will only be runnning out of our supply faster than neccessarry.
