Write a balanced equation for the complete oxidation reaction that occurs when acetylene (c2h2) burns in air. use the smallest possible integer coefficients.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products must be same as the mass of reactants.

For the conservation of mass, the number of atoms of each element must be same in reactants and products. Thus we need to balance the reaction by writing appropriate stochiometric coefficients.

Thy hydrocarbons such as acetylene burn in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water.

it's c. elements are placed in rows based on how may valencies electrons have.

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it
