Question

anonymous · Answer

These are the answer choices

cuanchi · Answer

in the answers there is only one reaction that is balanced (specially about charges) that is the answer. All the other reactions are not balanced in charges

Balanced Equation Definition: An equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge are the same for both the reactants and the products . In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction. http://chemistry.about.com/od/chemistryglossary/a/balanceeqdef.htm

cuanchi · Answer

do you know what are the reactants and the products?

anonymous · Answer

is it c? @cuanchi

cuanchi · Answer

why did you choose that? it is a balanced reaction?

anonymous · Answer

arent the reactant and charges the same?

cuanchi · Answer

the atoms in the reactant looks the same number that the atoms in the products. Can you count the charges in the reactants and the charges in the products for me in the reactions C?

cuanchi · Answer

reactants ClO-  = 1 negative charge
               H2O  =  no charge

Products   Cl-  = 1 negative charge
               2OH-  = 2 x (1 negative charge) = 2 negative charges

reactants= 1 negative charge
Products = 3 negative charges

it is the reaction balanced?
