Balance: C₅H₉O₁ + 5O₂ = 5CO₂ + 4H₂O
Explanation:
Balancing a chemical equation involves ensuring that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. In this case:
Carbon (C): 5 atoms on both sides
Hydrogen (H): 9 atoms on both sides
Oxygen (O): 11 atoms on both sides (5 from C₅H₉O₁ and 6 from O₂)
To achieve this balance, the coefficients are adjusted as follows:
C₅H₉O₁ + 5O₂ → 5CO₂ + 4H₂O
Now, the equation is balanced with the same number of each type of atom on both sides.
