I the following a correct balanced equation from a decomposition of H2O2?
H 2 o 2 --> h 2 o + o 2
Thanks!
Correct products but not balanced. You should know it isn't balanced. Let's check it.
I see 2 H atoms on left and right. ok
I see 2 o on left aide and 3 on the right. not ok.
2H2O2 ==> 2H2O + O2
Thanks, clear explanation!
The balanced equation you provided for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is almost correct. However, the chemical formulas should have the correct subscripts and capitalization. The correct balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide is:
2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2
To verify if this equation is balanced correctly, you can count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation.
On the left side: Two hydrogen atoms (2H2), two oxygen atoms (2O2)
On the right side: Four hydrogen atoms (2H2O), two oxygen atoms (O2)
By ensuring that both sides have an equal number of atoms, we can see that this balanced equation is indeed correct.
