Balance the following chemical equations including the physical states. (AS1)

C₆H₁₂O₆ C₂H₅OH+CO₂

Balanced equation: C₆H₁₂O_6(s) 2C₂H₅OH_(s) +2CO_2(g)

Explanation:

⇒Step 1: Write the given unbalanced equation

C₆H₁₂O₆ C₂H₅OH+CO₂

⇒Step 2: Compare the number of atoms of reactants with the number of atoms of products.

⇒Step 3: Now, first we consider the element having unequal no. of atoms on both sides. Thus, first let us consider hydrogen atom. If we multiply 2 in the product (in C₂H₅OH), we will get the equal number of atoms as in reactant (in C₆H₁₂O₆)

⇒Step 4: Write the resulting equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ 2C₂H₅OH+CO₂

⇒Step 5: Now check whether the equation is balanced or not by comparing the atoms

We find that the equation is not balanced yet. As the number of carbon and oxygen atoms are unequal on the two sides.

First balance the carbon atom.

⇒Step 6: If we multiply 2 in the product (in CO₂), we will get the equal number of atoms as in reactant (in C₆H₁₂O₆)

⇒Step 7: Write the resulting equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ 2C₂H₅OH+2CO₂

⇒Step 8: Now check whether the equation is balanced or not by comparing the atoms.

We find that the equation is balanced now.

⇒Step 9: Write down the final balanced equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ 2C₂H₅OH+2CO₂
