A balanced equation is a representation in which the coefficients of the individual atoms of a molecule or compound are the same on both the left and right of the equation.
The correct answer is:
Option C. Zn + 2 HCl --------> ZnCl₂ + H₂
This can be explained as:
- In the first equation, the number of H and O atoms are not balanced.
- In the second case, the atoms of hydrogen and oxygen are not the same on the sides of the equation.
- In the third reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid, all the atoms of the reaction are balanced.
- In the fourth reaction, the hydrogen atoms are not balanced.
Therefore zinc and hydrochloric acid reaction are balanced.
