Question

Help me balance, I'm stuck on the Oxygens. I'm supposed to insert proper coefficients.
C2H6O2 --> Co2+H2O

Answer 1

C2H6O2 + 5/2 O2 ---> 2CO2 + 3 H2O this reaction is reaction of combustion so you need to add O2 to reactants...

Answer 2

its ethane undergoing combustion

C2H6 + 3.5O2= 2CO2 + 3H20

if it was an ethanoic acid there would have been 4 Hydrogen atoms not 6

:D

hope this helps

Answer 3

why wouldnt it be ethylene glycol?!
