Question

which word equation shows hydrogen reacting with oxygen to form water? oxygen + water → hydrogen hydrogen + oxygen → water oxygen + water → hydrogen + water hydrogen + water → oxygen

Explanation:

The question is about identifying the correct word equation for the reaction where hydrogen reacts with oxygen to form water. Reactants are on the left side of the arrow and products on the right. Hydrogen and oxygen are the reactants, and water is the product. So we check each option:

• First option: Reactants are oxygen and water, product is hydrogen. Incorrect.
• Second option: Reactants are hydrogen and oxygen, product is water. Correct.
• Third option: Reactants are oxygen and water, products are hydrogen and water. Incorrect.
• Fourth option: Reactants are hydrogen and water, product is oxygen. Incorrect.

Answer:

B. hydrogen + oxygen $
ightarrow$ water (Note: Here the option identifier is assumed as B as per the standard multiple - choice format where the second option is correct. If the original question had different identifiers, adjust accordingly.)
