Cecil writes the equation for the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen below.
h2 + o2 → h2o
why does his teacher ask him to balance the equation by including the correct coefficients?

Consider the reaction: 2al(s) + fe2o3(s) → al2o3(s) + 2fe(s) the δhf for fe2o3(s) = -824.3 kj/mole. the δhf for al2o3(s) = -1675.7 kj/mole. finish the equation. δhrxn = [(1)( kj/mole) + (2)( kj/mole)] - [(1)( kj/mole) + (2) ( kj/mole)]
