To determine the number of atoms of carbon (C) present in the reactants of the chemical equation, we only need to consider the carbon atoms in the compound C7H16.
From the molecular formula C7H16, we can see that there are 7 carbon atoms in each molecule.
Therefore, the number of carbon atoms present in the reactants of the equation is 7 atoms.
How many atoms of carbon (C) are present in the reactants of the following chemical equation?
C7H16+O2→CO2+H2O
