Answer 1

To balance the chemical equation \(2Ag_2O \rightarrow \) \(Ag + O_2\), we can start by breaking down the components of the reactants and products:

1. On the left side, we have:

   • \(2Ag_2O\) gives us 4 silver (Ag) atoms and 2 oxygen (O) atoms.

2. On the right side, we have:

   • \(Ag\) and \(O_2\). Each \(O_2\) molecule has 2 oxygen atoms.

To balance the equation, we need to ensure the same number of atoms for each element on both sides:

• The number of Ag atoms on the left is 4. Therefore, we need 4 Ag on the right.
• The number of O atoms: we have 2 on the left from \(2Ag_2O\) and will have 2 on the right from 1 molecule of \(O_2\).

Now, we can write the balanced equation:

\[2Ag_2O \rightarrow 4Ag + O_2\]

So, filling in the responses, we have:

• For Ag: 4
• For O2: 1 (which corresponds to the coefficient "1" in front of \(O_2\))

It looks like we have an error in the options. Based on what's given, your options seem to be numbers rather than coefficients.

Final balanced reaction:

The balanced equation is: \[2Ag_2O \rightarrow 4Ag + 1O_2\]

In terms of responses:

• Fill in 4 in the Ag response area
• Fill in 1 in the O2 response area.

However, since 1 is not one of your options, make sure you pick the closest valid option that adheres to the intended equation. If there are any misconceptions or clarifications needed regarding the more provided options, please specify those for tailored guidance.
