Explanation:
The balanced chemical equation is given as:
2H₂O₂ → O₂ + 2H₂O
А There are two peroxide molecules on the reactant side.
The statement is correct because the left hand side is the reactant side. We can read the reaction as;
2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide decomposed to given 1 molecule of oxygen gas and 2 molecules of water .
D Mass must be conserved so there are an equal number of molecules in the reactants and products.
E Mass must be conserved so there are an equal number of atoms in the reactants and products.
Since the chemical equation is balanced, choices D and E are correct. The reaction will have equal number of molecules and atoms on both sides of the expression.
