balance CHCl3 + O2 = CO2 + H2O + Cl2

Sagot :

Answer:

2CHCl3 + 5/2 O2 => 2CO2 + H20 + 3Cl2

Explanation:

Left Hand Side(LHS)

We have CHCl3 and O2

Right Hand Side(RHS)

We have CO2, H2O and Cl2

Balancing

To make sure that they have same values, put 2 before CHCl3 giving 2CHCl3 and 3 on Cl2(RHS) for chlorine gas giving 3Cl2

H2O remains the same

Before CO2 put 2 giving 2CO2

To make sure that oxygen is balanced put 5/2 before it. This gives 5/2 O2 (2 cancels out don't worry)

Combining all;

2CHCl3 + 5/2 O2 => 2CO2 + H20 + 3Cl2

I hope this helps. Have a nice studies.
