Are the products and balancing correct for this Equation: C5H12 + 8O2 = 2CO2 + 6H2O
True
False

False

Explanation:

Chemical reaction equation:

                   C₅H₁₂ + 8O₂ → 2CO₂ + 6H₂O

Most chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass. By so doing, the number of chemical elements on both sides of the expression must be balanced.

                 Reactants                                          Products

C                    5                                                           4

H                  12                                                           12

O                 16                                                             10

We see that for C and O, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression differs and so, it is not balanced.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!
