Use the chemical equation to find the answers.

H2CO3 → H2O + CO2

Identify how many oxygen atoms are in the product.

Identify how many oxygen atoms are in the reactant.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

When we write a chemical equation then species written on the left hand side are known as reactants followed by a forward arrow. Then species written on the right hand side are known as products.

For example, [tex]H_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow H_{2}O + CO_{2}[/tex]

Here, [tex]H_{2}CO_{3}[/tex] is the reactant. On the other hand, both [tex]H_{2}O[/tex] and [tex]CO_{2}[/tex] are the products.

Thus, we can conclude that there are three oxygen atoms in the reactant and there are three oxygen atoms in the product.

The given chemical equation is:

H₂CO₃ → H₂O + CO₂

Number of oxygen atoms in the product = 3

Number of oxygen atoms in the reactant = 3

What are reactants and products?

Reactants -

  • Reactants are substances that begin a chemical reaction.
  • They are generally written on the left-hand side of the arrow in a chemical reaction.
  • Therefore, in the given chemical reaction on the left-hand side, there is H₂CO₃ as a reactant that has 3 oxygen atoms.

Products -

  • Products are the compounds that are created as a result of the reaction.
  • They are generally written on the right-hand side of the arrow in a chemical reaction.
  • Therefore, in the given chemical reaction on the right-hand side, there are H₂O and CO₂ as products that have 3 oxygen atoms in total; 1 oxygen atom in H₂O and 2 in CO₂.
