The balanced equation involves the corresponding coefficients ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The coefficients in a balanced equation represent the relative amounts of each reactant and product in the reaction. The coefficients in option C (2: 1: 1: 1) suggest that for every two moles of the first reactant, there is one mole of the second reactant, one mole of the first product, and one mole of the second product. This satisfies the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, and ensures that the number of atoms on both sides of the equation is equal.
