Chapter 11, Problem 36A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To determine the balance of chemical reactions.

Concept Introduction: The type of chemical reaction in which the count of atoms will be identical on both sides of the reaction is named a balanced chemical reaction.

Answer to Problem 36A

Because the product of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ will indicate hydrogen peroxide.

Explanation of Solution

The product of ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ will represents hydrogen peroxide on the other hand ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}$ represent hydrogen and ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ represent oxygen molecule.

In reaction, hydrogen and oxygen is given; hence, it cannot be written as ${\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ . It shows different types of compounds.
