Interpretation: The coefficient for
Concept Introduction: The reactions for which the number of atoms of each element in the reactant and in the product, side are equal, such reactions are said to be a balanced chemical equation.
Answer to Problem 4STP
The correct option is (d):
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is:
The reaction is not balanced as the number of C, H and O in the reactant side is 4, 10 and 2 respectively and on the product’s side is 1, 2 and 3 respectively. So, in order to balance the reaction, coefficient 2 and 13 is written before
Hence, the coefficient for
