1. Freezing of water - endothermic or exothermic reaction? 2. Melting of water - endothermic or exothermic 3. Photosynthesis - endothermic or exothermic 4. Balance this chemical equation: ___ C2H4O2 + ___ O2 ___ CO2 + ___ H2O

@Qwertty123
@ijlal I only need the last one
Oh, hey qwertty.
Hey ^.^ Which one you need help with?
4 now. just the chemical equation.
@Qwertty123 , still there?
Balance by inspection. There are 2 C on the left and one on the right - start by putting a 2 on the right (hint, leave H and O until last) C2H4 + O2===> 2 CO2 + H2O Next balance H - 4 of left, 2 on right so C2H4 + O2 ===> 2 CO2 + 2 H2O Now balance O if needed 2 on left - 6 on right, so C2H4 + 3O2 ===> 2CO2 + 2H2O
And remember to balance in order of CHO (carbon first then hydrogen then oxygen in a combustion reaction) it's easy this way :)
