Look at the following equation. __Au2O3 → __Au + __O2 In order to follow the law of conservation of mass, this equation must have which set of coefficients, in order from left to right? a 2, 4, 3 b 1, 1, 3 c 1, 3, 1 d 2, 1, 3
The balanced equation is:
2Au2O3 → 4Au + 3O2
Hence, the coefficients in order from left to right are: 2, 4, 3.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) 2, 4, 3
