Write correct formulas for the products in these combustion reactions.C6H6 + O2=
no
im too stupid for this
who censored me
The combustion of C6H6 (benzene) can be represented by the following balanced equation:
2C6H6 + 15O2 -> 12CO2 + 6H2O
To determine the correct formulas for the products in this reaction, you need to understand the combustion process and some basic chemistry principles.
1. The reactant C6H6 is a hydrocarbon, which means it contains hydrogen (H) and carbon (C) atoms. The combustion of hydrocarbons typically produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) as the main products.
2. To balance the equation, note that there are 6 carbon atoms on the left side (reactant) and 12 carbon atoms on the right side (product). This means you need to put a coefficient of 12 in front of CO2 to balance the carbon atoms.
Balanced equation: 2C6H6 + 15O2 -> 12CO2 + ___ H2O
3. Now, balance the hydrogen atoms. On the left side, there are 12 hydrogen atoms (6 atoms in each C6H6 molecule). On the right side, there are 12 hydrogen atoms in CO2 and 6 hydrogen atoms in H2O, totaling 18 hydrogen atoms. Since there are already 12 hydrogen atoms in CO2, you need to add an additional 6 hydrogen atoms to balance the equation.
Balanced equation: 2C6H6 + 15O2 -> 12CO2 + 6H2O
So the correct formulas for the products in this combustion reaction are CO2 (carbon dioxide) and H2O (water).
