Question

Balance the 2 chemical equation below: 1) _____H2 + _____02 ---> _____H20 2) _____CH4 + _____Cl2 ---> _____CCl4 + _____HCl Your answer:

Answer 1

Answer:

1.)    2H2  +  O2  --->  2H2O

2.)   CH4  +  4Cl2 --->  CCl4  +  4HCl

Explanation:

In order to balance the equation, you have to make sure there are the same amount of each element on both sides.

Ex (#1).  By adding the coefficients infront of H2 and H20, You now have 4 hydrogen's and 2 oxygens on the left side as well as 4 hydrogens and 2 oxygens on the right side.

Sorry if that's confusing, but hope this helps! :)
