Question

Pick the correct one to put on the empty spots

Answer 1

The balanced equation is:
`\[4\text{Ag}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 4\text{Ag} + \text{O}_2\]`

Below are the steps to balance the equation:

• Start by balancing the metals. In this case, there are 4 silver (Ag) atoms on the right side, so we place a coefficient of 4 in front of
  `\( \text{Ag} \)` on the left side:

`\[4\text{Ag}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 4\text{Ag} + \text{O}_2\]`

• Balance the oxygen atoms. There are 4 oxygen (O) atoms on the left side and 2 on the right side. To balance this, place a coefficient of 2 in front of
  `\( \text{O}_2 \)` on the right side:

`\[4\text{Ag}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 4\text{Ag} + 2\text{O}_2\]`

The equation is now balanced, with the same number of atoms of each element on both sides.
