In this case it really doesn't matter with which you start C or H, but mostly start with the simplest numbered: C. (Here the molecular coefficient is SET to a = 1 for C3H8, later it can be changed to a higer value when other coefficient are not a whole number)
Never start with the oxygen, it is in two products and can't be solved first.
aC3H8 + bO2 --> pCO2 + qH2O
C: 3a = p , if SET a=1, then p=3
H: 8a = 2q , if SET a=1, then q=4
So far:
1C3H8 + bO2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O leaving b to be solved to a (whole) natural number
Then:
O: 2b = 2p + q = 6 + 4 then b = 5
Solved:
C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O
When an equation is balanced, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
A balanced chemical equation conveys the correct molar ratios of reactants and products in a reaction. Balancing a chemical equation upholds the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
A chemical reaction imply minimum two reactants (chemical compounds), to obtain the final products.
a balance equation when it come to bio is that the input be exactly equal to the output. this will make the organism balanced with the environment it is in like a regulator fish in water. input=output. in chemistry: A balanced equation is used for chemical reactions. When the number of moles of reactants is equal to the number of moles of products, the equation is considered balanced. Search wikipedia for chemical equation for a step by step tutorial on how to balance chemical reaction equations.
mole concept is used in balancing chemical reaction because for balancing a reaction u cant change the numbers such as 1,2,3 etc.. in between the compund so as a whole we are changing outside the compound
Balancing a chemical equation establishes what proportions of the reactants are required for complete reaction as well as the proportions of the products of the reaction. Some factors in balancing the equation will also dictate what the products ARE. For example - when balancing the equation for a combustion reaction, the presence of nitrogen in the fuel molecule will yield certain products while it's absence will exclude certain products. Likewise, when performing electrochemical reaction balances, balancing the electrochemistry will dictate the products of the reaction.
When an equation is balanced, the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction.
being able to write a balanced equation for a reaction is very important. By balancing an equation we can tell how much material we will need to start with, what the likely products to form, and how much of these products will form
It's called balancing the equation. You did it so that both the reactants and the products have the same amount of the substances.
A balanced chemical equation conveys the correct molar ratios of reactants and products in a reaction. Balancing a chemical equation upholds the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
