Question 1.
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
Question 2 NEW QUESTION
When you have finished balancing the equation for the above question, which chemical element 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
I believe the correct answer is to question 1 - C.
C3H8 + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O
And the answer to question 2 is D or B
Option D) The water has the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation.
The answer is correct for 1 which is C. However for Ques 2. it says which element so the answer should be B
Answered below.
You are correct! The answer to question 1 is C. The carbon element should be looked at first in balancing the equation because there are 3 atoms of carbon in the compound.
And the answer to question 2 is D. In the balanced equation, there will be more molecules of water (H2O) compared to the other compounds.
Question 1: To balance the equation, you should first look at the element that appears in the fewest compounds. In this case, carbon (C) only appears in one compound (CO2), so you should look at carbon first. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) Carbon.
Question 2: After balancing the equation (C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O), you need to determine which chemical element has the largest number of molecules. Since water (H2O) appears with a coefficient of 4, it has the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) The water.
