When is the equation for a redox reaction considered balanced?
Options
- AWhen there are the same number of hydrogen atoms on both sides
- BWhen there are the same number of oxygen atoms on both sides
- CWhen the reactants and products have the same formula
- DWhen the oxidation numbers are equal
Correct answer
B. When there are the same number of oxygen atoms on both sides
Step-by-step solution
The passage states that if there are the same number of oxygen atoms in the reactants and products, the equation represents the balanced redox reaction.
