How many atoms of each element are on each side of the equation C2H6 + 7O6---4CO2 + 6H2O, and is the equation balanced or unbalanced?
gpt
Reactants: Carbon = 2, Hydrogen = 6, Oxygen = 42. Products: Hydrogen = 12, Carbon = 4, Oxygen = 14. The equation is unbalanced.
Explanation: To determine if an equation is balanced, the number of atoms of each element must be equal on both the reactant and product sides. In this case, the numbers of hydrogen and carbon atoms are not equal, so the equation is unbalanced.
