Provide an example of a balanced chemical equation.
3H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
2H2O -> 2H2 + O2
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
H2 + O2 -> H2O
Answer explanation
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O. This equation shows that two molecules of hydrogen gas react with one molecule of oxygen gas to produce two molecules of water. This is the correct choice.
