Note the equation below is not balanced. This is because the total number of atoms of each element in the reactants is not equal to the total number of atoms of each element in the products. 93b4bdd8-9f7d-4e4d-b02b-d7731f8cdb0cIn order to balance the equation, how many H atoms must be present in the second product that is formed?(1 point)Responses1122334
To balance the equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side is equal to the number of atoms of each element on the product side.
Given the reactant: 2H2 + O2
And the products: 2H2O + H2
Let's examine the number of hydrogen (H) atoms on each side:
Reactant: 2H2 = 4 hydrogen atoms
Product 1: 2H2O = 4 hydrogen atoms
Product 2: H2 = x hydrogen atoms
Since the total number of hydrogen atoms in the reactants is 4, and the total number of hydrogen atoms in the products (Products 1 and 2) is also 4, we can calculate the number of hydrogen atoms in Product 2:
4 (from reactant) = 4 (from Product 1) + x
4 = 4 + x
x = 0
Therefore, in order to balance the equation, there should be 0 H atoms in the second product (H2).
