C4H9OH(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+?H2O(l) what coefficient should be placed in front of H2O to balance the hydrogen atoms?

5

Explanation:

To balance the hydrogen atoms, we check the number of hydrogen on the left side, this is equal to the 10 hydrogen atoms we have in the alkanol.

Now, on the right hand side, we can see we only have two hydrogen atoms in the water molecule. Now, to make equal the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides, we simply multiply the number of hydrogen there by 5 to make it 10 too

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
