Answer:

2, 1, 1, 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction:


H_2SO_4+Pb(OH)_4\rightarrow Pb(SO_4)_2+H_2O\\

We can see how there is one SO4 on the left and two on the right, thus, we add a 2 in front of H2SO4:


2H_2SO_4+Pb(OH)_4\rightarrow Pb(SO_4)_2+H_2O\\

Next, since there are 8 atoms of hydrogen on the left and two on the right, we add a 4 in front of H2O to obtain:


2H_2SO_4+Pb(OH)_4\rightarrow Pb(SO_4)_2+4H_2O\\

Which is now balanced so the coefficients 2, 1, 1, 4.

Best regards!
