Answer:
B
Explanation:
Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.
Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O
A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag
1 Cu 1
2 Ag 2
2 N 1
3 O 3
The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation
B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2
1 C 1
4 Cl 4
2 O 2
The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.
C) 2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2
2 K 2
1 H 4
1 S 1
4 O 4
The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.
D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2
4 Al 2
6 O 6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.
6+2=115 and its good it took test
Pretty sure it’s Mixture if I’m not wrong
