Question

Which set of coefficients will balance this chemical equation?

Answer 1

Answer:

B 1,3

Explanation:

Count the atoms on each side of the arrow, they have to be equal

After arrow

2x C

6x O

4x H

Before the arrow

2x C - correct, as it is the only compound with C then there must only be 1 mole of it.

This is also the correct amount of H

We need 6x O total so 6/2 = 3

So there are 3 moles of O
