Question

The chemical equation for a reaction is shown. Which of the following statements about chemical reaction is true? Al_(2)(CO_(2))_(3)+2H_(3)PO_(4)arrow 2APOO_(4)+3CO_(2)+3H_(2)O Select one: a. There are nine cobalt atoms and two potassium atoms involved in the reaction. b. There are four polonium atoms and three carbon atoms involved in the reaction. c. There are nine oxygen atoms and six hydrogen atoms involved in the reaction. d. There are two aluminum atoms and two phosphorus atoms involved in the reaction.

Answer 1

d. There are two aluminum atoms and two phosphorus atoms involved in the reaction.

Answer 2

To determine the correct statement, we need to count the number of each type of atom on both sides of the chemical equation. The balanced equation is:

- Aluminum (Al): 2 atoms on both sides.- Phosphorus (P): 2 atoms on both sides.- Carbon (C): 3 atoms on both sides.- Oxygen (O): 9 atoms on both sides.- Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms on both sides.
