Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the work equation of the following chemical equation "hydrogen + oxgyen =water​"

Hyrodgen is denoted by H₂ and Oxygen is denoted by O₂. The reaction between hydrogen and water is :


H_2 + O_2\rightarrow H_2O

Now, we can balance this equation as follows :

On LHS,

Hydrogen = 2 atoms

Oxygen = 2 atoms

On RHS,

Hydrogen = 2 atoms

Oxygen = 1 atoms

To make it balance, multiply 2 to H₂ at LHS and 2 to H₂O at RHS.


2H_2 + O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O

Now, no of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen at LHS are 4 and 2 respectively while at RHS no of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen are also 4 and 2 respectively.
