Answer:

2X₂Y₃ → 4X + 3Y₂

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about balancing chemical equations.

The reaction is given as:

X₂Y₃ → X + Y₂

To balance the reaction equation, we use a mathematical approach.

aX₂Y₃ → bX + cY₂

Conserving X; 2a = b

Y; 3a = 2c

Now, let us make a = 1

b = 2

c =
(3)/(2)

Multiply through by 2;

a = 2, b = 4 , c = 3;

2X₂Y₃ → 4X + 3Y₂
