Question

2H2 +O2 = 2H2O balance equation with 5 oxygen

Answer 1

10H₂    +   5O₂ →    10H₂O

Explanation:

This problem deals with balancing of chemical equations. In balancing chemical equations, the law of conservation of mass must be followed. This states that:

   "In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another".

This meaning of this is that; the number of atoms on each side of the expression must be the same.

                    2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O

let us check is the equation above is balanced;

   

                                      2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O

Elements             reactant                product

H                                  4                           4

O                                   2                           2

We can see vividly that the equation is balanced;

Now; if we have 5 oxygen gas, we multiply the equation through by 5:

 

                                 5 x          (  2H₂    +   O₂ →    2H₂O   )

     ⇒        10H₂    +   5O₂ →    10H₂O

Elements             reactant                product

H                                  20                       20

O                                  10                        10
