Question

now that h₂o was used to balance out the oxygen on the side, hydrogen now needs to be balanced on the product side. how many h⁺ should be added to the product side? 3h₂o + br⁻ → bro₃⁻ + ?h⁺

Explanation:

Step1: Count H atoms in reactants

In \(3\text{H}_2\text{O}\), each \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) has 2 H atoms. So total H atoms: \(3\times2 = 6\).

Step2: Determine H⁺ needed

To balance H, the product side (H⁺) must have 6 H atoms (since each H⁺ is 1 H atom). So we add 6 H⁺.

Answer:

6
