To determine which unit factors are correct, we need to analyze the given chemical equation:
Let's evaluate each statement:1. There are 5 oxygen atoms reacting for every
molecules produced. - This statement is incorrect. The balanced equation shows that there are 5 oxygen molecules (
) reacting to produce 3 carbon dioxide (
) molecules, which means there are 6 oxygen atoms reacting for every 3
molecules produced.2. There are 10 oxygen atoms reacting for every four water molecules produced. - This statement is correct. The balanced equation shows that there are 5 oxygen molecules (
) reacting to produce 4 water (
) molecules, which means there are 10 oxygen atoms reacting for every 4 water molecules produced.3. There are 10 oxygen atoms reacting for every six oxygen atoms produced in
. - This statement is incorrect. The balanced equation shows that there are 5 oxygen molecules (
) reacting to produce 3 carbon dioxide (
) molecules, which means there are 6 oxygen atoms reacting for every 6 oxygen atoms produced in
.4. There are 5 oxygen molecules reacting for every six oxygen atoms produced in
. - This statement is correct. The balanced equation shows that there are 5 oxygen molecules (
) reacting to produce 3 carbon dioxide (
) molecules, which means there are 5 oxygen molecules reacting for every 6 oxygen atoms produced in
.Therefore, the correct unit factors are:- There are 10 oxygen atoms reacting for every four water molecules produced.- There are 5 oxygen molecules reacting for every six oxygen atoms produced in
