Question

1. Write the balanced equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. The equation has been written, you just have to balance.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A balanced equation is defined as the equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example, $H_{2}O_{2} \rightarrow H_{2}O + O_{2}$

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

• H = 2

• O = 2

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

• H = 2

• O = 3

Therefore, balance this equation by multiplying $H_{2}O_{2}$ by 2 on reactant side. Thus, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

         $2H_{2}O_{2} \rightarrow H_{2}O + O_{2}$

Answer 2

The balanced equation is attached in the image below. The coefficients are 2, 2, blank.
