Answer 1

Answer:
`2H_2+O_2\longrightarrow 2H_2O`

Step-by-step explanation:

Law of conservation of matter : It states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

A)
`Ca+Cl_2\longrightarrow CaCl`

B)
`Ca+Cl_2\longrightarrow Ca_2Cl`

C)
`2H_2+O_2\longrightarrow 2H_2O` is correctly balanced as the number of atoms of hydrogen and oxygen are equal on the both side of the reaction.

D)
`H_2+O_2\longrightarrow H_2O`
