Question

1. Write the balanced equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. The equation has been written, you just have to balance.

___H2O2 → ___H2O + ___O2

Answer 1

The balanced equation is attached in the image below. The coefficients are 2, 2, blank.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A balanced equation is defined as the equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example,
`H_(2)O_(2) \rightarrow H_(2)O + O_(2)`

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

• H = 2

• O = 2

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

• H = 2

• O = 3

Therefore, balance this equation by multiplying
`H_(2)O_(2)` by 2 on reactant side. Thus, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

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