Question

Balance the chemical equation C + 02 ------ CO2​

Answer 1

Answer:

It is already balanced.

Explanation:

C + O2 -------- CO2

Answer 2

To balance the following reaction, we need to follow the steps.

Explanation:

Given reaction is burning of carbon in presence of oxygen gives out carbon-dioxide which is:

$C+O_{2}$ → $CO_{2}$

• As we can see that, carbon is burning in the air with the help of oxygen to give out carbon dioxide gas.
• 1 mole of carbon is burning with 1 mole of oxygen to give out 1 mole of carbon-dioxide gas.
• The carbon atom on the reactant side is one, and on the product side, it's also one.
• Two atoms of oxygen are there on the reactant side, and two are there on the product side too.
• Hence, the reaction is already balanced.
