Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
A balanced equation for the reaction
Concept introduction:
The reaction of hydrocarbon in the presence of oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water is known as combustion reaction. Complete combustion of any hydrocarbons always gives oxide of carbon and hydrogen. The reason for this is that hydrocarbons consist of hydrogen and carbon.
Answer to Problem 35E
A balanced equation for the reaction
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is a combustion reaction. Complete combustion of any hydrocarbons always gives carbon dioxide and water as final product. The
In the above reaction, the number of carbon atoms on the reactant side is two and on the product side is one. The number of hydrogen atoms on the reactant side is four and on the product side is two. Therefore, the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms is balanced as shown below.
Now, the number of oxygen atoms on the reactant side is two and on the product side are six. Therefore, the number of oxygen atoms is balanced as shown below.
Therefore, the balanced equation for the reaction
