in the reaction - CH3CH2OH + Na -- C2H5ONa + H2 how does two hydrogen atoms come in H2 - Science - Carbon and its Compounds

Question

in the reaction -
CH3CH2OH + Na --> C2H5ONa + H2
how does two hydrogen atoms come in H2 when there are only 6
hydrogen atoms in the LHS

Sumeet Malik · Accepted Answer

2CH3CH2OH + 2Na â†’
2C2H5ONa + H2

In reactions where the number of atoms of elements does not match
on both sides of the equation, you need to balance the equations to
give you correct amount of reactants reacting to give correct
amount of products
