Answer:
1. The balanced equation is given below:
C4H6O3 + H2O → 2C2H4O2
The coefficients are: 1, 1, 2
Explanation:
C4H6O3 + H2O → C2H4O2
The above equation can be balanced as follow:
There are 4 atoms of C on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of C2H4 O2 as shown below:
C4H6O3 + H2O → 2C2H4O2
Now, the equation is balanced as the number of atoms of the different elements present on both sides of the equation are equal.
The coefficients are: 1, 1, 2
