Answer:
3
Explanation:
Here's the balanced equation;
C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
C ⇒2 C ⇒1 x 2 = 2
H ⇒4 H ⇒2 x 2 = 4
O ⇒3 x 2 = 6 O ⇒ (2 x 2) + (2 x 1) = 6
The coefficient that has been added as the coefficient to O2 is 3.
C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O.
the given equation has 2oxygen atoms on the reactant side and 3 oxygen atoms on the product side
so to make it equal we have to add 3 as coefficient of O2 on the reactant side.
Therefore the correct answer to the equation C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O is 3.
