------------------------------------------------------------------
Write a chemical equation from the following: " Hydrogen plus oxygen produces hydrogen peroxide. " Label the parts of the equation as reactants, products, element, and compound.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer 1

H2 + O2 ---> H2O2

reactants: H2 & O2

Products: H2O2

element: H is an element (H2 is a molecule of 2 H atoms but would be considered an element as well), O is an element (same reasoning O2 would be considered an element)

compound: H2O2

Step-by-step explanation:

- your reactants are the molecules or atoms you have to create the desired product (what you have before the reaction occurs)

- your products are what is created by the reaction

- element is mostly explained above

- compound is a molecule containing more than one element

Answer 2

`\large\text{$\sf H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow H_2O_2$}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical reaction of hydrogen (H₂) with oxygen (O₂) produces hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).

In chemistry, reactants are the substances that undergo a chemical reaction. They are the starting materials in a chemical reaction that interact with each other, leading to the formation of new substances known as products.

Therefore:

• Reactants: Hydrogen (H₂) and Oxygen (O₂).
• Products: Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).

An element is a pure substance that consists of only one type of atom.

A compound is a chemical substance composed of two or more different elements chemically bonded together in a fixed ratio.

Therefore:

• Elements: Hydrogen (H₂) and Oxygen (O₂).
• Compound: Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂).

A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction using chemical formulas and symbols. It shows the reactant(s) on the left side of the equation and the product(s) on the right side of the equation, separated by an arrow that indicates the direction of the reaction.

A balanced chemical equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.

The equation for "Hydrogen plus oxygen produces hydrogen peroxide" is:

`\large\underbrace{\sf H_2 + O_2} \;\;\rightarrow \;\;\underbrace{\sf H_2O_2}\\\sf \phantom{.}Rectants \quad\:\quad Product`

It is already balanced, as the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation (reactant side and product side).
