How would you balance the equation c2h2+02>co2+h20?



Answer:
the balanced equation is
2C2H2+5O2>4CO2+2H2O
We can balance using half-reaction method
(C2H2 + 4H2O >> 2 CO2 + 10 H+ + 10e-) x2
(O2 + 4H+ + 4e- >> 2H2O) x5

2 C2H2 + 8H2O >> 4CO2 + 20 H+ + 20 e-
5 O2 + 20 H+ + 20e- >> 10 H2O
______________________________...
2C2H2 + 5 O2 >> 4CO2 + 2 H2O
2C2H2 + 5O2>>>4CO2 + 2H2O
2(C2H2) + 5(O2) ===> 4(CO2) + 2(H2O)
