Which of the following is the correct set of integer coefficients for the balanced equation, respectively: ___ C₆H₁₄(g) + ___O₂(g) → ___CO₂(g) + ___H₂O(g)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balanced equation is: 2C₆H₁₄(g) + 19O₂(g) → 12CO₂(g) + 14H₂O(g) There are 2 carbon atoms on the left side and 12 on the right, so we need a coefficient of 6 for CO. There are 114 hydrogen atoms on the left and 14 on the right, so we need a coefficient of 7 for H2O. The coefficients for CS2 and O2 are found by trial and error or inspection. Therefore, the correct set of integer coefficients is 2, 19, 12, 14.
