Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

In balance equation, reactant and product will have same number of coefficient. Chemical reactions can be explained in a precise way through chemical equations.

The given reaction is

H2(g)+O2(g)HCl(aq)

Here, in this reaction, HCl is not balanced.

Balance HCl on the product side by multiplying with 2,

H2(g)+O2(g)2HCl(aq)

Therefore, the balance reaction is

H2(g)+O2(g)2HCl(aq)

Conclusion:

Hence, the balanced equation is H2(g)+O2(g)2HCl(aq) .
