Answer:

2H₂ + O₂ —> 2H₂O

The coefficients are: 2, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

__ H₂ + __ O₂ —> __ H₂O

The above equation can be balance as illustrated below:

H₂ + O₂ —> H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂O as shown below:

H₂ + O₂ —> 2H₂O

There are 2 atoms of H on the left side and 4 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂ as shown below:

2H₂ + O₂ —> 2H₂O

Now, the equation is balanced and the coefficients are: 2, 1, 2
