1. Identify the Products:
The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O).
2. Count Oxygen Atoms in Each Product:
* CO₂: Each carbon dioxide molecule has 2 oxygen atoms.
* H₂O: Each water molecule has 1 oxygen atom.
3. Calculate Total Oxygen Atoms:
* CO₂: 10 CO₂ molecules * 2 oxygen atoms/molecule = 20 oxygen atoms
* H₂O: 4 H₂O molecules * 1 oxygen atom/molecule = 4 oxygen atoms
4. Add the Oxygen Atoms from Both Products:
Total oxygen atoms = 20 + 4 = 24 oxygen atoms
Therefore, there are 24 oxygen atoms in the products of the reaction.
