Solution 2
The correct balanced combustion reaction is C. C4H6 + 11O2 4CO2 + 3H2O.
Here's the step by step process:
- Write down the unbalanced equation: C4H6 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
- Balance the carbon atoms first: C4H6 + O2 -> 4CO2 + H2O
- Balance the hydrogen atoms next: C4H6 + O2 -> 4CO2 + 3H2O
- Finally, balance the oxygen atoms: C4H6 + 11O2 -> 4CO2 + 3H2O
So, the correct answer is C.
Solution 3
The correct answer is C. C4H6 + 11O2 4CO2 + 3H2O.
Here's the step by step process:
-
First, balance the carbon (C) atoms. There are 4 carbon atoms on the left side of the equation (in C4H6), so you need 4CO2 on the right side to balance it.
-
Next, balance the hydrogen (H) atoms. There are 6 hydrogen atoms on the left side (in C4H6), so you need 3H2O on the right side to balance it (since each H2O has 2 hydrogen atoms).
-
Finally, balance the oxygen (O) atoms. On the right side, you now have 42 (from CO2) + 31 (from H2O) = 11 oxygen atoms. So you need 11O2 on the left side to balance it (since each O2 has 2 oxygen atoms).
So the balanced equation is C4H6 + 11O2 4CO2 + 3H2O.
