@ganeshie8 ?

Answer 1

@Preetha

Answer 2

CH3CH2OH+3O2-----> 2CO2 +3H2O

Answer 3

You sure?

Answer 4

yeah..... just count

Answer 5

Okay xD just wanted you to explain, thanks

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

H...
in the left side you have 6

Answer 8

so you need to multiply H2O by 3 to get 6H

Answer 9

then c

you have 2 C in the left so you need to multiply CO2 by2

Answer 10

oh okay, I understand now, thank you!

Answer 11

last O2
CH3CH2OH+ O2 ----> 2CO2 +3H2O
in the right side you have 7 (4 in co2 and 3 in H2O) so you need 7 in the left side.....
