1. In the balanced equation, how many atoms of hydrogen arethere on the reactants side? My Answer: 2
2. In the balanced equation, how many atoms of hydrogenare there on the products side? My Answer: 2
3. In the balanced equation, how many atoms of oxygen arethere on the reactants side? My Answer:2
4. In the balanced equation, how many atoms of oxygen arethere on the products side?
5. What is the difference between an unbalanced and abalanced chemical equation?
For question 4 is it possible for the balanced equation to nothave the same amount of oxygens on the products side? If I was justgoing to go ahead and answer it I would write Zero, so it has mesecond guessing myself. Are my previous answers correct and would#4 be zero atoms? Please explain because if it is zero then it doesnot really make sense to me.
