Balance the following equation by oxidation number method
`C_(6)H_(6)+O_(2)rarrCO_(2)+H_(2)O`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


(ii) Balance the changes in O.N. by multiplying the oxidant and reductant by suitable numbers
`2C_(6)H_(6)+15O_(2)rarrCO_(2)+H_(2)O`
(iii) Balance the equation atomically (except O and H).
`2C_(6)H_(6)+15O_(2)rarr 12CO_(2) + H_(2)O`
(iv) Balance O atoms by adding one `H_(2)O` molecule to the RHS for making the number of molecules of `H_(2)O` to be 6.
`2C_(6)H_(6)+15O_(2)rarr12CO_(2)+6H_(2)O`
