Question

Balance the following equation: Ag+O_(2) > Ag_(2)O

Answer 1

Ag+o ___>2Ag+3o

I think is answer

Answer 2

4Ag + O₂ → 2Ag₂O

Step-by-step explanation:

Given reaction expression:

Ag + O₂ → Ag₂O

The problem here is to balance the expression.

We are going to use a mathematical approach to solve this problem. Therefore, assign coefficients a,b and c to the species:

aAg + bO₂ → cAg₂O

Conserving Ag; a = 2c

O; 2b = c

Now let c = 1;

a = 2

b =
`(1)/(2)`

Multiply a, b and c through by 2;

a = 4, b = 1 and c = 2

4Ag + O₂ → 2Ag₂O
