The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following equations is not balanced, we will analyze each equation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Equations**: First, we need to look at the provided equations. Let's assume we have four equations to analyze. 2. **Check the First Equation**: - **Equation**: Calcium hydroxide reaction. - **Reactants**: 1 Calcium (Ca), 2 Hydroxide (OH) groups. - **Products**: 1 Calcium (Ca), 2 Hydroxide (OH) groups. - **Balance Check**: - Ca: 1 on both sides - O: 2 on both sides - H: 2 on both sides - **Conclusion**: This equation is balanced. 3. **Check the Second Equation**: - **Equation**: Iron and copper reaction. - **Reactants**: 1 Iron (Fe), 1 Copper (Cu), 1 Sulfur (S), 4 Oxygen (O). - **Products**: 1 Iron (Fe), 1 Copper (Cu), 1 Sulfur (S), 4 Oxygen (O). - **Balance Check**: - Fe: 1 on both sides - Cu: 1 on both sides - S: 1 on both sides - O: 4 on both sides - **Conclusion**: This equation is balanced. 4. **Check the Third Equation**: - **Equation**: Potassium chlorate decomposition. - **Reactants**: 1 Potassium (K), 1 Chlorine (Cl), 4 Oxygen (O). - **Products**: 1 Potassium (K), 1 Chlorine (Cl), 2 O2 (which equals 4 O). - **Balance Check**: - K: 1 on both sides - Cl: 1 on both sides - O: 4 on both sides - **Conclusion**: This equation is balanced. 5. **Check the Fourth Equation**: - **Equation**: Copper and nitric acid reaction. - **Reactants**: 1 Copper (Cu), 2 Hydrogen (H), 2 Nitrogen (N), 6 Oxygen (O) (from 2 HNO3). - **Products**: 1 Copper (Cu), 2 Nitrogen (N), 6 Oxygen (O) (from Cu(NO3)2 and 2 NO2 and 2 H2O). - **Balance Check**: - Cu: 1 on both sides - H: 2 on both sides - N: 2 in reactants, 4 in products (2 from Cu(NO3)2 and 2 from 2 NO2) - O: 6 on both sides - **Conclusion**: This equation is NOT balanced. ### Final Answer: The fourth equation is not a balanced equation. ---
