D)59.08 g/mol
E)50.01 g/mol

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is false. A correctly balanced equation ensures that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides, but not necessarily the number of molecules. The molecular coefficients are determined by stoichiometry, which may not result in equal numbers of molecules on both sides of the equation. The answer options provided are molar masses of various compounds, which are not relevant to the statement.
