Question

In this equation, what should be the coefficients of the reactants and products?
I2 + O2->I4O9
A) the coefficent of iodine is 2, oxygen is 9, and the product is 2
B) the coefficent of iodine is 9, oxygen is 4, and the product is 2
C) the coefficent of iodine is 4, oxygen is 9, and the product is 2
D) the coefficent of iodine is 2, oxygen is 9, and the product is 2

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. In this equation, the coefficients of the reactants and products should be that for iodine is 4, oxygen is 9, and the product is 2. This makes the equation balanced. Hope this answers the question.
