In the given chemical equation, the reactants are 2H2O (water).
To calculate the total number of atoms in the reactants, we can count the atoms in each molecule and multiply by the coefficient indicating how many molecules are involved in the reaction:
2H2O:
2 molecules of water contain 2 x 2 = 4 hydrogen atoms (H)
2 molecules of water contain 2 x 1 = 2 oxygen atoms (O)
Therefore, the total number of atoms in the reactants is 4 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms, so there are a total of 4 + 2 = 6 atoms in the reactants.
