    Balancing Equations
    Hey! How would you balance this equation: :confused:

    C2H5(OH) + O2 --> CO2 + H2O ? And

    Sb2S3 + O2 --> Sb2O3 + SO2 ?

    Thx a lot. :)

    Huh... you missed that vev_pro... See that

    2C2H5OH +6 O2 --> 4CO2 + 6H2O

    ?

    Well, they're all multiples of 2... so reduce it to:

    C2H5OH + 3O2 --> 2CO2 + 3H2O
