Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do the coefficients in the following balanced chemical equation mean? 2H2 + O2
A
2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen in the reactants
B
2 moles of oxygen and 1 mole of hydrogen in the reactants
C
2 moles of oxygen and 1 mole of hydrogen in the products
D
2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen in the products
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -2H2O2→2H2O+O2 is a disproportion reaction in which the oxygen undergone oxidation and reduction simultaneously.

Detailed explanation-2: -This coefficient of hydrogen is 2 and the coefficient of oxygen is here 1. Similarly, the coefficient of h 2 is here and the meaning of this coefficient is, we can say, 2 moles of h. 2 react with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: The coefficients used to balance the given equation are 2, 1, 2. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
