PLS HELP URGENTLY!!!!!!! C2H4 is reacted with O2

OpenStudy (abb0t):

combustion.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

You should know the general formula for combustion. Ethane reacted with oxygen produces carbon dioxide and water.

OpenStudy (rane):

bt there is no CO2 produced since 2 cancels out with C2

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I don't understand what you're saying. This IS a combustion reaction. And I made a mistake, this is not ethane, this is ethene*

OpenStudy (abb0t):

The ratio is 1:3

OpenStudy (rane):

how

OpenStudy (rane):

i want to see full working

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(C_2H_4 + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O\) now balance it.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

Co2 and H20 are the combustion products always

OpenStudy (rane):

where did u get O2 of CO2, since 2 cancels out

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

balance the equation given by @abbot

OpenStudy (rane):

but before balancing i need to get my products

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

Co2 and H2O are products

OpenStudy (rane):

how did he get H2O AND O2

OpenStudy (rane):

HOWWWWWW??????

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

LOL ur wooried about O2 written on the left :)

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

combustion of C2H4 means reaction of C2H4 with O2 that's why he has written O2 got it

OpenStudy (rane):

thank u i got it
