What helps me to balance equations is to list the elements i have on each side of the equation, and use tally marks to see what I have and don't have. Then when I'm done balancing, I tally again to make sure everything matches up.
On the left side, you have 1 Al, and 2 O. On the right side, 1 Al and 3 O.
In order for the equation to balance, you need to place a 2 in front of the AlO on the right side. This would make the Al have 2 atoms and the O have six. On the left side, you need to place a 2 in front of the Al and a 3 in front of the O, making it six. Left side: 2 Al's 6 O's. Right side: 2 Al's and 6 O's. Matches!
Answer;
D. carbon-12 atom
Explanation;
-One atomic mass unit is the mass that is exactly equal to one-twelfth the mass of one carbon-12 atom. Therefore, the mass of carbon-12 is 12 amu and this provides the standard that is used in measuring the atomic mass of all other elements.
-The atomic mass of carbon is 12.01 and not 12.00 in the periodic table.
-Due to the fact that there are more than one element for most naturally occurring elements, the average mass of the naturally occurring mixture of isotopes is taken while determining the atomic mass of an element.
