Question

Which statements are true about the following chemical reaction?

1. There is the same number of Hydrogen atoms in the reactant side as there are in the product side.
2. The reactants are 2 molecules of water and 1 molecule of oxygen.
3. After the reaction happens new atoms are formed by destroying the atoms in the reactants.

Options:
A. Statement 1 is true.
B. Statement 2 is true.
C. Statement 3 is true.
D. Statements 1 and 2 are true.

Answer 1

Statement 1 and statement 2 are true, while statement 3 is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 1 is true because there is the same number of Hydrogen atoms in the reactant side as there are in the product side. The statement 2 is true because the reactants are 2 molecules of water and 1 molecule of oxygen. The statement 3 is false because new atoms are not formed by destroying the atoms in the reactants, but rather by rearranging the atoms in the reactants to form new molecules.
