Which chemical equation is balanced? A. CaO2 + HCl → CaCl2 + H20
B. CO2 + H2O + H2CO2
C. K+ H2O → K20 + H2
D. MgO + 2HCI – MgCl2 + H20
10 points if you answer fast

D. MgO + 2HCI – MgCl2 + H20

The chemical equation is said to be balanced if the number of atoms in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms in the product

A. CaO2 + HCl → CaCl2 + H20

atoms O, Cl and H are not the same

B. CO2 + H2O + H2CO2

atoms O are not the same

C. K+ H2O → K20 + H2

atoms K are not the same

D. MgO + 2HCI – MgCl2 + H20

Mg, left = 1, right=1

O, left=1, right=1

H, left=2, right=2

Cl, left=2, right=2

Chemical equation is balanced

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

im not exactly sure but i think its b!
