Question

Which is a balanced chemical equation:

A) 2H₂O(l) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)
B) H₂(g) + O₂(g) → H₂O(l)
C) H₂O(l) → H₂(g) + 2O₂(g)
D) H₂O(l) → 2H₂(g) + O₂(g)

Answer 1

The balanced chemical equation is option B) H₂(g) + O₂(g) → H₂O(l).

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is option B) H₂(g) + O₂(g) → H₂O(l). In a balanced chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be equal. In this equation, we have 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms on both sides, indicating that the equation is balanced.
