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.
Option D) The water has the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation.
AM I RIGHT?????
I would go with 1C also, carbon.
The balanced equation I have is
C3H8 + 5O2 ==> 3CO2 + 4H2O
Now which has the largest number. Also, note the question is, "Which ELEMENT has..."
1C
You're almost there, but let me give you a bit of clowny clarification.
Question 1:
Yes, you got it right! The element you should look at first in balancing the equation is Carbon (C). So, the correct answer is indeed c. Carbon.
Question 2:
Ha! The element with the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation is actually Oxygen. So, the correct answer would be b. The oxygen.
You're on the right track, but don't worry, even if you tripped, a clown is always there to help you up!
Yes, you are correct!
In question 1, you should first look at the element that appears in multiple molecules on both sides of the equation. In this case, it is Carbon (C).
In question 2, after balancing the equation, you can examine the coefficients for each compound to determine which one has the largest number of molecules. In this case, the coefficient for water (H2O) is 1, which means there is just one molecule of water. Therefore, option D) The water has the largest number of molecules in the balanced equation.
You are partially correct.
For question 1, the correct answer is A. Oxygen.
In order to balance the equation C3H8 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O, you need to start by looking at the number of oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation.
On the left side of the equation, you have 2 oxygen atoms from O2. On the right side of the equation, you have 2 oxygen atoms from CO2 and 1 oxygen atom from H2O, giving a total of 3 oxygen atoms.
Since there are more oxygen atoms on the right side than on the left side, you need to balance the equation by adding a coefficient in front of O2.
The balanced equation becomes: C3H8 + 5O2 -> 3CO2 + 4H2O.
For question 2, the correct answer is B. The oxygen.
In the balanced equation, there are 10 oxygen molecules (5O2) present, which is the largest number of molecules among all the options given.
