Answer:
H₂O₂(l)→ H₂O(l) + O₂(g) : Reaction is not Balanced
Step-by-step explanation:
- A balanced chemical equation is one that has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides.
- The equation: H₂O₂(l)→ H₂O(l) + O₂(g) is not balanced because the number of oxygen atoms are not equal on either side of the equation.
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that the law of conservation of mass in chemical equation is obeyed.
- Therefore, to balance the chemical equation above we will ensure the number of oxygen atoms and those of hydrogen are equal on both side of the equation.
That is; 2H₂O₂(l)→ 2H₂O(l) + O₂(g)
- We have 4 hydrogen atoms on either side and 4 oxygen atoms on either side.
