Since oxygen is a diatomic substance, which means that it always needs to be in particles of 2, the equation evens out. When writing oxygen as being just by itself it is always written O2 because there are two atoms of oxygen automatically since it is diatomic (di meaning two). When written in a formula like h20 it just remains 0.

How would you balance the following equation: H 2 O 2 → H 2 O+O 2? Add 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide and 2 molecules of water. This reaction is of the spontaneous decomposition of hydrogen peroxide down into water and oxygen. According to the law of conservation, the reaction should be balanced.

There are an uneven number of oxygen atoms on each side.
Try:
2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2

In the chemical equation H2O2(aq)-H2O(1) plus O2(g)then H2O2 is a?
If you had the equation of H2O2(aq) ==> H2O(l) + O2(g), it wouldn't be balanced, so is incorrect. If it were 2H2O2 ==> 2H2O + O2, then it would be balanced, and H2O2 would be an example of a disproportionation reaction, where H2O2 is both the oxidizing and reducing agent, i.e., the O is both oxidized and reduced to form H2O and O2. Not sure if this is what you are looking for as the question is rather vague.
Chemical equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide?
2 H2O2 ---> 2 H2O + O2 + energy, it's exothermic
What is the balanced chemical equation for hydrogen peroxide yields water plus oxygen?
2H2O2 in the prescence of catalase results in 2 H2O + O2
When the following chemical equation is correctly balanced H2O2 ---- H2O plus O2 the correct coefficient before H2O is?
2H2O2------------ 2 H2O + O2 thus correct coefficient is 2
How do you balance H2O2 - H2O?
The equation as given can not be balanced, because it is incomplete: When hydrogen peroxide decomposes to produce water, it also produces oxygen. A proper, balanced equation for the reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.
Balance h2o2 h2o o2?
The balanced equation for this decomposition reaction is 2 H2O2 -> 2 H2O + O2.

What the balance of H2O2 H2O O2?
H2o2=2h2o+o2
Is H2O-H2 plus O2 a balanced chemical equation?
No. It would have to be H2O2 - H2 = O2 in order to be balanced.
