Classify the chemical equations as being balanced or not balanced.

CaO + 3C → CaC2 + CO
Na + H2O → 2NaOH + H2
4Fe + O2 → 2Fe2O3
2Mg + O2 → 2MgO

Respuesta :

1) Balanced
2) Not balanced
3) Not balanced
4) Balanced

Answer;

CaO + 3C → CaC2 + CO  - Balanced

Na + H2O → 2NaOH + H2  - Not balanced

4Fe + O2 → 2Fe2O3  -Not balanced

2Mg + O2 → 2MgO - Balanced

Explanation;

Balancing chemical equations is a process of trial and error.

The chemical equation needs to be balanced so that it follows the law of conservation of mass. A balanced chemical equation occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
