Find the mistake in the chemical equation:
\[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_4(g) + 2\text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 2\text{CO}_2(g) + 2\text{H}_2(g) \]
Answer (2)
this equation is a combustion reaction. a combustion reaction must have carbon dioxide and water as products.
yours only had carbon dioxide and no h2o
therefore it is wrong
The mistake in the chemical equation is that it incorrectly includes hydrogen gas (H₂) as a product instead of water (H₂O). A proper combustion reaction of ethylene (C₂H₄) should yield carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). The corrected equation reflects this: C₂H₄ + 3O₂ → 2CO₂ + 2H₂O.
