The correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇄ 2CO(g) + O2(g)
this is the correct one because it is a decomposition reaction and all the number of atoms is equal on both sides.
there are 2 C atoms on both sides.
and 4 O atoms on both sides.
and 1) the atoms numbers are equal on both sides but not correct as it not a
correct number as it has 1/2 O2.
and 2) CO2(g) ⇆ CO(g) + O2
the number of O atoms is not equal on both sides of the equation.
we have 2 O atoms on the left side and 3 O atoms on the right side.
so, this not a balanced equation.
4) also not correct 2CO(g) + O2 ⇆ 2CO2
as it is not a decomposition reaction and the 2CO & O2 are as reactants not products.
so the correct answer is 3) 2CO2(g) ⇆ 2CO(g) + O2(g)
Answer:
a chemical change is a change that changes the substance into a whole new substance.
Examples include: burning wood, a banana peel rotting, milk souring, and even your food/drinks digesting.
