Answer:
a) atoms of carbon (C) on each side of the equation - 8
b) atoms of oxygen (O) on each side of the equation - 26
c) atoms of hydrogen (H) on each side of the equation - 20
Explanation:
2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
a) Carbon -
On the left side, number of carbon atoms is derived from 2C4H10 ----> 2 C4
Thus, there are 8 carbon atoms on left side.
On the right side, number of carbon atoms is derived from 8CO2 ----> 8 C
Thus, there are 8 carbon atoms on right side.
b) Oxygen
On the left side, number of oxygen atoms is derived from 13 O2
Thus, there are [tex]13 * 2 = 26[/tex] oxygen atoms on left side.
On the right side, number of oxygen atoms is derived from 8CO2 + 10H2O ----> 8 O2 + 10 O
Thus, there are [tex]8 * 2 + 10 = 16 + 10 = 26[/tex] oxygen atoms on right side.
c) Hydrogen
On the left side, number of hydrogen atoms is derived from 2C4H10 ----->
2 H 10
Thus, there are [tex]10 * 2 = 20[/tex] hydrogen atoms on left side.
On the right side, number of hydrogen atoms is derived from 10H2O ----> 10H2
Thus, there are [tex]10 *2 = 20[/tex] hydrogen atoms on right side.
