Which of the following chemical equations depicts a balanced chemical reaction?
A. 2H₂ +202-> H₂O
B. 2H₂ +202-> 2H₂O
C. H₂ + O2-> H₂O
D. 2H₂ + O₂-> 2H₂O

Sagot :

Answer:

D.) 2 H₂ + O₂ -----> 2 H₂O

Explanation:

An equation is balanced when there is an equal amount of each element on both sides of the reaction. If these amounts are unequal, coefficients can be added to modify the amount of particular molecules.
