Question

Which statement is true of the following reaction?

It is balanced for charge and for number of atoms.
It is not balanced for charge or for number of atoms.
It is not balanced for charge but is balanced for number of atoms.
It is balanced for charge but is not balanced for number of atoms.

Answer 1

the answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

:0)

Answer 2

It is balanced for charge but is not balanced for number of atoms.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the reactants you have :

2H and 2O

in the products you have:

2H and 1O

Then it is not balanced for the number of atoms.

Looking at the charge now:

H2 and O2 have charge 0

H+ has positive 1

O-2 has negative 2

2 H+ + O-2 is neutral because you have 2 positive 1 and 1 negative 2

Then it is balanced for charge
