Question

In this equation, what should be the coefficients of the reactants and products?

I2 + O2 → I4O9

Answer 1

4 I₂ + 9 O₂ = 2 I₄O₉

Coefficients:

4 , 9 , 2

hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer : The coefficients of reactant
`I_2` and
`O_2` are 4 and 9.

The coefficients of product
`I_4O_9` is 2.

Explanation :

The balanced chemical equation will be,

`4I_2+9O_2\rightarrow 2I_4O_9`

By the stoichiometry, 4 moles of
`I_2` react with 9 moles of
`O_2` to give 2 moles of
`I_4O_9`.

In the given balanced equation,
`I_2` and
`O_2` are the reactants and
`I_4O_9` is the product.

The coefficients of reactant
`I_2` and
`O_2` are 4 and 9.

The coefficients of product
`I_4O_9` is 2.
