Fill in the blanks

Question

2Ag2O → _Ag + _O2
Use these numbers to fill in the blanks: 6,8,1,10,2,4

Answer 1

To balance the equation \( 2Ag_2O → _Ag + _O_2 \), we can follow these steps:

1. Start with the left side:

   • There are 2 Ag2O, which means there are \( 2 \times 2 = 4 \) Ag atoms and \( 2 \times 1 = 2 \) O atoms.

2. On the right side, to balance the O atoms, we need 2 O atoms. Since there is 1 O2 molecule, we can write 1 O2.

3. We need to balance the Ag atoms. We have 4 Ag atoms on the left, so we need 4 Ag atoms on the right side.

Putting it all together, we have:

\( 2Ag_2O → 4Ag + 1O_2 \)

Thus, the filled in blanks would be:

• 4 for Ag
• 1 for O2

So the final answer is: 2Ag2O → 4Ag + 1O2.
