How do you balance c4h8s2 o2 CO2 H2O so3?

Answer 1

Balance: C4H8S2 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + SO3

Work out how many S, C and H on the left and then balance for the right. Then add up how many O this gives on the right and divide by 2 to get number of O2.

C4H8S2 + 9O2 --> 4CO2 + 4H2O + 2SO3

Answer 2

To balance the equation C4H8S2 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + SO3, start by balancing the carbons, then balance the hydrogens, followed by the sulfurs, and finally the oxygens. The balanced equation is: C4H8S2 + 6 O2 → 4 CO2 + 4 H2O + 3 SO3.
