Question
### Understanding Balanced Chemical Equations

**Objective:** Determine the balanced chemical equation from the given figure using the simplest whole number coefficients.

**Diagram Explanation:**
- **Key:**
  - Filled circles represent carbon atoms.
  - Empty circles represent oxygen atoms.

**Diagram Analysis:**
- **Left Box:**
  - Contains carbon and oxygen atoms arranged separately.
- **Right Box:**
  - Shows the rearrangement of these atoms into molecules, illustrating a chemical reaction.

**Options for Balanced Chemical Equation:**

1. \(4\, \text{C} + 12\, \text{O} \rightarrow 2\, \text{CO}_2 + 2\, \text{C} + 8\, \text{O}\)
2. \(2\, \text{C} + 6\, \text{O} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{C} + 4\, \text{O}\)
3. \(4\, \text{C} + 4\, \text{O}_3 \rightarrow 2\, \text{CO}_2 + 2\, \text{C} + 4\, \text{O}_2\)
4. \(\text{C} + 2\, \text{O}_3 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + 2\, \text{O}_2\)
5. \(2\, \text{C} + 2\, \text{O}_3 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{C} + 2\, \text{O}_2\)

**Selected Answer:**
- Option 2 is correct: \(2\, \text{C} + 6\, \text{O} \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{C} + 4\, \text{O}\)

This balanced equation uses the simplest whole numbers and correctly corresponds to the transformation depicted in the diagrams.
