4. What coefficients need to be added to the following chemical reaction
to balance it? C6H14 + O2 + CO2 + H2O*

Hey there!

C₆H₁₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

Balance H.

14 on the right, 2 on the left. Add a coefficient of 7 in front of H₂O.

C₆H₁₄ + O₂ → CO₂ + 7H₂O

Balance C.

6 on the left, 1 on the right. Add a coefficient of 6 in front of CO₂.

C₆H₁₄ + O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O

Balance O.

2 on the left, 12 on the right. Add a coefficient of 6 in front of O₂.

C₆H₁₄ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O

Our final balanced equation: C₆H₁₄ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 7H₂O

Hope this helps!
