1 point What is the coefficient for carbon dioxide when the following equation is balanced: C_(6)H_(6)+ldots O_(2)arrow ldots CO_(2)+ldots H_(2)O 2 15 6 12

Question

Answer 1

## Step1:In the given unbalanced chemical equation:

, we initially have 6 carbon atoms on the left-hand side (from

).## Step2:To balance the equation, we will require 6 molecules of

(carbon dioxide) on the right-hand side, because 1 molecule of

has 1 carbon atom. This calls for 6 as coefficient of

.## Step3:So, the properly balanced equation is:

. This means that the coefficient of carbon dioxide is 6 in the balanced chemical equation.
