Question

What are the coefficients for the reaction _C12O5 + _H20 - _HCIO3 once it is balanced?

O 1, 1, 1
1, 1, 2
O 1, 2, 2
2, 1, 1

Answer 1

b) 1,1,2

Step-by-step explanation:

• Cl2O5 + H2O → 2 HClO3

2 - Cl - 2

6 - O - 6

2 - H - 2

by semireactions, the chloride ion (Cl) is balanced with HClO3 and the oxygen is balanced with water:

Cl2O5 + H2O → 2 HClO3
