Answer: The balanced chemical equation is C₂H₅OH+3O₂ → 2CO₂+3H₂O

Various steps for balancing the chemical equation.

Explaination:

Step 1: First Write theunbalanced chemical equation.

Step 2: Now, Compare the number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

Step 3: First Balance the Carbon atoms and then

Step 4: Balance the Hydrogen, Oxygen atoms and other atoms.

First Balance the C atom by multiplying both sides by CO by 2(because reactant side contain 2carbon).

C₂H₅OH+O₂ → 2×CO₂+H₂O

Now Balance H atoms at product side by multiplying H₂O by 3(because reactant side contain 6H atoms).

C₂H₅OH+O₂ → 2CO₂+3×H₂O

Now Balance O atoms at reactant side by multiplying O₂ by 3(because product side contain 6,O atoms).

C₂H₅OH+3×O₂ → 2CO₂+3H₂O

So, the balanced chemical reaction is as follows,

C₂H₅OH+3O₂ → 2CO₂+3H₂O

law of conservation of mass

A chemical reaction requires balancing because the criteria is that it follows the law of conservation of mass. Which certified that the mass of reactant molecules must be equal to product molecules.
