When ethanol (C₂H₅OH)and oxygen (O₂)react together,they form carbon dioxide (CO₂)and water (H₂O).The resulting chemical reaction is: C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ -- 2CO₂ + 3H₂O The coefficient in front of H₂O indicates there are ____. A)three oxygen atoms in the reaction B)three carbon atoms in the water C)three water molecules in the reaction D)six water molecules in the reaction E)six oxygen atoms in the reaction

Question

When ethanol (C₂H₅OH)and oxygen (O₂)react together,they form carbon dioxide (CO₂)and water (H₂O).The resulting chemical reaction is: C₂H₅OH + 3O₂ --> 2CO₂ + 3H₂O The coefficient in front of H₂O indicates there are ____. A)three oxygen atoms in the reaction B)three carbon atoms in the water C)three water molecules in the reaction D)six water molecules in the reaction E)six oxygen atoms in the reaction

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficient in front of H₂O indicates the number of water molecules formed in the reaction. In this case, the coefficient is 3, which means there are three water molecules produced in the reaction. The other answer choices do not correspond to the coefficient of H₂O.
