Question

Which of the following chemical equations is unbalanced? A. 2C + H2 CH4 B. 2Al2O3 4Al + 3O2 C. 2H2O2 2H2O + O2 D. 2C2H6 + 7O2 4CO2 + 6H2O

Answer 1

A. 2C + H₂ ⟶ CH₄

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 2C + H₂ ⟶ CH₄

UNBALANCED. 2C on the left and 1C on the right

B. 2Al₂O₃ ⟶ 4Al + 3O₂

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

C. 2H₂O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O + O₂

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.

D. 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 6H₂O

Balanced. Same number of each type of atom on each side.
