show all work

Answer 1

Balanced equation is, 2 C4 H 0 + 1302 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O Given, cleo)+(H2O) ACG Hd+Blo) on left side on on No. of catoms = 4A No. of c atom on right side = equating T4A = C w No. of H-atoms left side = 10A No. of H-alony right sich = 20 equating we get 10A = 2D alo. of o- atoms left side 2B of atom right sich=2C+D Equeting 2B = 20+ D 2 on on 2B = 8A+SA 13 2B = 13A 13 2 B. A - B B

2 (2) D = 10 given All values in equations que ACG Ha) + (13)A (0) 4A(Co) + 10 A (20) Canceling A bolh side we get CA Hot 일 - 4 Cot 10 H₂O multiply weget & Coat 10 ho balanud. on 13 2 on both side / 20 Hio 13 02 7 Hence it is Р
