Question

Directions: For each problem, first fill in the missing coefficients to balance the equation. Then

type of reaction it is.
1. 2H₂O₂ →
a. H₂O + O₂
b. H₂O +20₂
c. 2H₂O + 0₂
d. 2H₂O +202
This is a type of a physical or chemical reaction.and why please explain so I understand

Answer 1

The balanced equation for the given reaction is:

2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂

The type of reaction is a decomposition reaction, where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. In this case, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) decomposes into water (H₂O) and oxygen gas (O₂). This is a chemical reaction, as the original compound is transformed into new substances with different properties.
