How do you balance C O2 CO?

Answer 1

The balanced reaction is this: 2CO + O2 --> 2CO2

This is correct...

the correct way of balancing this is:

CO+ 1/2O2 --> CO2

if you're using the above method to calculate enthalpy value then they will be different (and incorrect) compared to balancing it this way.

Answer 2

To balance the equation C + O2 → CO, add a coefficient of 1 in front of C and CO, and a coefficient of 1/2 in front of O2. This balances the atoms: 1 C on each side, 2 O on each side. So the balanced equation is C + 1/2 O2 → CO.

Answer 3

If you mean carbon plus oxygen reacting to give carbon monoxide, then use 2C + O2 --> 2CO

Answer 4

6co2 + 6h2o -> c6h12o6 + 6o2

Site messing up again!! All letters are capitalized.

Answer 5

co + o2 = co2

Answer 6

3c + 2o2 ==> 2co + co2
