Help with balancing this chemical equation; __H2S(g) + __O2(g) --> __SO2(g) + __H2O(l) Reactants - Hydrogen 2, Sulfur 1, Oxygen 2. Products - Hydrogen 2, Sulfur 1, Oxygen 3 The "__" spaces in the equation are fill in the blank spots to put the coefficients. WILL GIVE MEDAL! Thanks ~
I probably should have posted this in physics. sorry.
how many o atoms are there?
I just stated above xD In order to balance the equation you have to find out the # of atoms of each element in both the reactants side (before the arrow) and in the products side (after the arrow) Reactants -------- Hydrogen 2 Sulfur 1 Oxygen 2 Products ------- Hydrogen 2 Sulfur 1 Oxygen 3
so multilply O2 with 3 and H2O with 2
What about the coefficients of H2S and SO2?
