Answer:

The word equation is:

$\text { hydrogen peroxide } \rightarrow \text { oxygen gas + water }$

This reaction happens when there is the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Thus, the equation would be

$H_(2) O_(2) \rightarrow O_(2)+H_(2) O$

Balancing the equation requires to have the same number of atoms of each element on both the side. To balance this equation we need to add 2 water (
H_2O ) molecules and 2 hydrogen peroxide (
H_2O_2 ) molecules . As we know, oxygen is naturally diatomic. Thus, the balancing equation would be:

$2 H_(2) O_(2) \rightarrow O_(2)+2 H_(2) O$
