Question 3 of 6
Which set of coefficients correctly balances the following chemical equation?
C4H603 + H20 = C2H4O2
(1 point)
A. 1, 1, 1 (already balanced)
B. 1, 1, 2
C. 1, 2,1
D. 2, 2, 1
E. 2, 1, 2​

Respuesta :

Space

Answer:

B. 1, 1, 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Reactions

  • Balancing Reactions
  • Reaction Prediction

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

RxN:   C₄H₆O₃ + H₂O → C₂H₄O₂

Step 2: Balance

  • We need the same amount of Carbons on both sides (4)

C₄H₆O₃ + H₂O → 2C₂H₄O₂

We see that we have balanced everything at this point.
