Question
Which of these correctly represents the balanced equation for the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen gas?
H2 + O2 -> H2O
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
2H2 + 2O2 -> 2H2O
Answer
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
Detailed Explanation
Balancing oxygen requires two water molecules on the right, and balancing hydrogen then requires two hydrogen molecules on the left: 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O. — Examisthan.com
