Answer to Problem 32A

The reaction is not balanced as there are 2 O and 2 H atoms in the reactant side whereas in product side there are 2 H and 1 O atom.

A picture of the balanced equation is drawn.

  World of Chemistry, Chapter 7, Problem 32A

Explanation of Solution

In the unbalanced equation the number of oxygen was not the same in both the sides of the equation. To balance it 2 moles of hydrogen are taken and 2 moles of water is produced.

As shown in the picture 2 moles hydrogen has reacted with 1 mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of water.
