Question

Can you please help me balance this equation. I've given it a go but just would like to check it. Thank you

Answer 1

Let us write reaction as

C4H4O6^2- + H2O2 -----(Co^2+)-------> CO2(g) + H2O (l)

Let us balance Carbon atom as

C4H4O6^2- + H2O2 ---(Co2+)---> 4CO2(g) + H2O(l)

Let us balance oxygen as

C4H4O6^2- + 4H2O2 -----(Co2+)------> 4CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)

Above reaction is balanced reaction

(Note Co2+ is used as catalyst)

Thank you
