A. Write and balance the chemical equation for these reactions.

1. The fermentation of glucose (C6H12O6) occurs in the presence of oxygen, producing vinegar
(C2H4O2) and water.

Balanced Equation: C6H12O6  3C2H4O2

Reactants Products
6 C atom 2 C atom  6 C atom
12 H atom 4 H atom  12 H atom
6 O atom 2 O atom  6 O atom

2. The reaction between calcium carbide (kalburo, CaC2) and water forms acetylene (C2H2) and
calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]

Balanced Equation: CaC2 + H2O  C2H2 + Ca(OH)2

Reactants Products
1 Ca atom 1 Ca atom
2 C atom 2 C atom
2 H atom  4 H atom 4 H atom
1 O atom  2 O atom 2 O atom

B. An organic compound was found to contain 54.5% C, 9.2% H, and 36.3%


1. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
2. If the molar mass of the compound is 88.1 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
