Answer to Problem 14STP
Option (D) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct options:
The option (D) can be written as:
All the atoms are balanced thus, it is a balanced chemical equation.
So, option (D) is correct.
Reason for incorrect option/s:
The given equation for option (A) is:
In the above reaction the equation is not balanced because the oxygen is not balanced on both sides Thus,
The option (A) can be correctly written as:
The given equation for option (B) is:
In the above reaction the equation is not balanced because the number of potassium (K) is not balanced on both sides thus,
The option (B) can be correctly written as:
The given equation for option (C) is:
In the above reaction the equation is not balanced because the number of hydrogen atoms is not balanced on both sides thus,
The option (C) can be correctly written as:
