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.
Ca + 2HCI yield CaCI2 + ?
In order to balance the equation, how many H atoms must be present in the second product that is formed? (1 point) Responses
1
2
3

2
is that correct?
My mistake in the previous response, I apologize for the error.
To balance the equation Ca + 2HCl → CaCl2 + H2, the second product is H2, and it must have 2 hydrogen atoms in order to balance the equation.
