Does anyone know how to balance chemical equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I can help with that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are we balancing chemical equations?

OpenStudy (staceyg):

yes this is physical science

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh sorry didn't see the chemical part :/

OpenStudy (staceyg):

The MnO2 was a catalyst and did not get used up in the reaction. Balance the equation for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide

OpenStudy (staceyg):

H2O2  H2O + O2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please keep in mind that number of specific atoms at left side has to be equal to number of those atoms at the right side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Manganese dioxide catalyses the decomposition of hydrogen.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example, let's consider the subsequent equation: \[H _{2}+\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }O_2\rightarrow H _{2}O\] we have: left side: there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen, right side: we have 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen

OpenStudy (staceyg):

So that is a balanced equation? How do i make mine balanced?

OpenStudy (staceyg):

@shifuyanli Do you know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_laino was trying to help you

OpenStudy (staceyg):

I know but she left

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well idk ask @dan815

OpenStudy (staceyg):

@lexie<3 Are you any good at these?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the chemical equation

OpenStudy (staceyg):

H2O2  H2O + O2

OpenStudy (staceyg):

H2O2 -> H2O + 02
