Answer : yes ,it is balanced so your answer should look like this with the state symbols

Yes, the eqⁿ is balanced.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction between hydrogen and oxygen results to the formation of water.


{ \purple{ \sf{2 H₂ + 1 \: O ₂ \: ➪ \: 2 H₂O}}}

To check whether the eqⁿ is balanced, let us count the numbers in the reactant and product sides

L.H.S.

H = 2×2 = 4.

O = 2×1 = 2.

R.H.S.

H = 2×2 = 4

O = 2×1 = 2.

Hence it is a balanced chemical equation.
