It looks like you're asking for assistance in balancing chemical equations. To balance a chemical equation, you need to ensure that the number of each type of atom on the reactants side (left of the arrow) is equal to the number of those same atoms on the products side (right of the arrow).
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to balance a chemical equation:
-
Write the unbalanced equation: Start with the unbalanced equation.
Example: \[ \text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{H}_2\text{O} \]
-
List the number of atoms of each element: Count the number of atoms of each element in the reactants and products.
- Reactants: H: 2, O: 2
- Products: H: 2, O: 1
-
Adjust coefficients: Start adding coefficients to balance elements one at a time.
In our example, we need to balance the oxygen atoms. There are 2 oxygen atoms in the reactants and only 1 in the product. We can do this by adding a coefficient of 2 in front of \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \):
\[ \text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \]
-
Recount the atoms: Check the number of atoms again.
- Reactants: H: 2, O: 2
- Products: H: 4, O: 2
Now we see that hydrogen is unbalanced. We have 4 hydrogen atoms in the products. We can add a coefficient of 2 in front of \( \text{H}_2 \):
\[ 2\text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \]
-
Final count: Check the final counts again:
- Reactants: H: 4, O: 2
- Products: H: 4, O: 2
Now the equation is balanced!
- Write the balanced equation: \[ 2\text{H}_2 + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \]
