It is suggested you write this on scratch paper and balance it before choosing your answers :)

Answer 1

SO₂ + 2H₂ —> S + 2H₂O

The coefficients are: 1, 2, 1, 2

Step-by-step explanation:

SO₂ + H₂ —> S + H₂O

The above equation can be balance as follow:

SO₂ + H₂ —> S + H₂O

There are 2 atoms of O on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂O as shown below:

SO₂ + H₂ —> S + 2H₂O

There are 2 atoms of H on the left side and 4 atoms the right side. It can be balance by writing 2 before H₂ as shown below:

SO₂ + 2H₂ —> S + 2H₂O

Now, the equation is balanced.

The coefficients are: 1, 2, 1, 2
