Answer:
D) He did not multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.
Explanation:
The coefficient 4 at the beginning of the chemical formula indicates that there are four Ca(ClO3)2 molecules. Think of this as Ca(ClO3)2 × 4. This means that he had to multiply the number of atoms for each element by 4 as well, so he should've ended up with 4 total calcium atoms (which is correct), 8 total chlorine atoms, and and 24 total oxygen atoms. He did not get all these answers because he didn't multiply the chlorine and oxygen atoms by the coefficient 4.
