Question 1. (SEE QUESTION 2 )
A Compound Containing 3 Atoms Of Carbon & 8 Atoms Of Hydrogen Is Combined In A Reaction With Oxygen Molecules. The 2 End Products Of This Equation Are Carbon Dioxide &water. What Element Should You Look At 1st In Balancing This Equation? Choose a.b.c or d?
A. Oxygen
b. Hydrogen
c. Carbon
d. Dioxide
ANSWER IS C.............
Question 2 (sorry it said chemical or element)
When you have finished balancing the equation for the above question, which CHEMICAL OR ELEMNET will have the largest number of molecules in your balanced equation? Choose a. B. C. Or d?
A. The C3H
b. The oxygen
c. The carbon dioxide
d. The water
And the answer to question 2 is it B or D.
I've answered this already, yet. Your answer to #1 was/is correct.
Look at the balanced equation (I wrote the balanced equation in my response.) The correct answer STILL is oxygen BECAUSE there is a coefficient of 5 for O2 and 5 is the largest number in the equations set of coefficients.
The answer is oxygen
To balance the equation, you should first look at the element that appears in the fewest number of compounds. In this case, the compound contains 3 atoms of carbon (C) and 8 atoms of hydrogen (H). Since carbon (C) appears in only one compound (carbon dioxide), while hydrogen (H) appears in two compounds (water and hydrogen), you should start by balancing the carbon (C) atoms first.
Once you have balanced the equation, you can determine the chemical or element that will have the largest number of molecules. After balancing the equation, you will find that the number of molecules is determined by the stoichiometric coefficients used in the balanced equation. In this case, the stoichiometric coefficients represent the number of molecules of each compound involved in the reaction.
After balancing the equation, the balanced equation will be:
C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O
By looking at the balanced equation, you can see that the compound with the largest number of molecules is oxygen (O2), which has a stoichiometric coefficient of 5. Therefore, the answer to question 2 is "b. The oxygen."
