Answer:
Reactant Side:
1 Carbon Atom, 4 Hydrogen Atoms, 4 Oxygen Atoms
Product Side:
1 Carbon Atom, 4 Hydrogen Atoms, 4 Oxygen Atoms
To solve this, you only need to count how many of each atom are in the equation. For the reactant side, there is only one C in the whole equation, so we say 1. There is 4 Hydrogens as depicted as a subscript under H, and there are 2 pairs of oxygen, which make it four.
On the other hand, C is only used once again for the products, there are a pair of oxygen, then two oxygens from the water to make it four oxygens, and 4 hydrogens.
To conclude, since the reactant and product side both have the same numbers, the chemical equation is balanced.
