Question

What is the coefficient of H₂O when the following equation is properly balanced with smallest set of whole numbers? ___ Al₄C₃ + ___ H₂O $\rarr$ ___ Al(OH)₃ + ___ CH₄ A)3 B)4 C)6 D)12 E)24

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To balance the equation, we need 3 Al, 3 H, and 4 O on both sides. This means that we need 12 H on the left side to balance with the 4 O on the right side, and the coefficient of H₂O is 12.
