Question

Which statement is true of the following reaction? upper h subscript 2 plus upper o subscript 2 right arrow upper 2 h superscript plus, plus upper o superscript 2 minus. it is balanced for oxidation state and for number of atoms. it is not balanced for oxidation state or for number of atoms. it is not balanced for oxidation state but is balanced for number of atoms. it is balanced for oxidation state but is not balanced for number of atoms.

Answer 1

b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B) It is not balanced for oxidation state or for number of atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

I got this question correct on my Edge quiz, so I know that this is the right answer.

The reactant side has 2 oxygen atoms, while the product side only has 1. This means the mass isn't balenced. In addition, the oxidation (charge) on the reactant side is 0, while it's -2 on the product side. This means the oxidation nor mass is balenced.

Hope that helps you!
