2h2s + 3o2 2so2 + 2h2o which option gives the correct mole ratios? h2s: so2 = 2: 2 and o2: h2o = 3: 2 h2s: so2 = 2: 3 and o2: h2o = 3: 2 h2s: so2 = 4: 4 and o2: h2o = 5: 4 h2s: so2 = 4: 6 and o2: h2o = 4: 4

Correct Option (A)

H₂S : SO₂ = 2:2 and,

O₂: H₂O = 3:2

Explanation:

The mole ratio is the ratio of coefficients of the compounds involved in the reaction. Reactants, as on the left hand side of the chemical reaction which reach to form new products.

In the given reaction,

2H₂S + 3O₂ ⇒ 2SO₂ + 2H₂O

The reactants are : H₂S (hydrogen sulphide) & O₂ (oxygen)

The products are : SO₂ (sulphur dioxide) & H₂O (water)

Therefore correct option is

H₂S : SO₂ = 2:2 and,

O₂: H₂O = 3:2

2fe + 3h2so4 -> fe2(so4)3 + 3h2

it is necessary to balance equations in order to get the proper amount of reactants as well as products in order not to make a miscalculation.

you cannot change the subscripts as that would change the substance itself. for instance, diatomic elements such as h2 only have the subscript two when a gas. another example would be so4, if you were to change the subscript, the element would no longer be sulfate.

we change the coefficients instead as that only changes the number of molecules rather than the substance itself.

hope this !

that's what i got you can count the number of atoms
