Since there is an equal number of each element in the reactants and products of 5C2H6O2 + 5O2 = 5C2H2O4 + H20, the equation is balanced. C2H6O2+O2 = C2H2O4+H20 ReactantsProducts C22✔️ H622❌ O44✔️ Hint: The sum of the balanced coefficients is 16.See Step-By-Ste...
For example, C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but XC2H5 + O2 = XOH + CO2 + H2O will. Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required. You can use parenthesis () or brackets []. How To Balance Equations Balance any equation or rea...
