C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O. Balance this equation and identify the number H₂O molecules formed when 6 molecules of C₈H₁₈ react with 75 molecules of oxygen.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation is C18H38 + 26O2 → 18CO2 + 19H2O. For every molecule of C18H38, 19 molecules of H2O are formed. With 6 molecules of C18H38, 6 * 19 = 114 molecules of H2O are formed.

C8H18 + O2 → CO2 + H2O

C₈H₁₈ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
