The equation 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 is balanced, as it shows 2 molecules of hydrogen peroxide decomposing into 2 molecules of water and 1 molecule of oxygen. Each element appears in the same proportion on both sides of the equation.
2H2O2------------ 2 H2O + O2 thus correct coefficient is 2
2H2O2 in the prescence of catalase results in 2 H2O + O2
The equation for the reaction between water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) is 2H2O + O2 -> 2H2O2, which produces hydrogen peroxide.
you can never balance the equation because there will always be too few oxygen atoms in the first molecule if the hydrogens are balanced That answer is incorrect. The balanced equation is as follows: 2H2O2 ---> 2H2O + O2 You begin with 4 hydrogen and 4 oxygen, and end with 4 hydrogen and 4 oxygen.
2H2O2 ==> 2H2O + O2 the equation is balanced
2H2O2------------ 2 H2O + O2 thus correct coefficient is 2
The balanced equation for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water (H2O) and oxygen gas (O2) when heated is: 2 H2O2 (aq) → 2 H2O (l) + O2 (g)
2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2 Check out Wikipedia's entry on Hydrogen Peroxide
hydrogen peroxide is H2O2 break down occurs 2H2O2 - 2H2O + O2
2H2O2 in the prescence of catalase results in 2 H2O + O2
The equation for the reaction between water (H2O) and oxygen (O2) is 2H2O + O2 -> 2H2O2, which produces hydrogen peroxide.
I think what you are thinking of is the decomposition of Hydrogen peroxide, which has the equation: 2H2O2 --> O2 + 2H2O which when balanced then equals 8. 2(H2O2) --> 2H2O +O2 |4*2|=8 -->|3*2|=6 +2= 8 That is the entire equation completed and balanced. Hope it helped!

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.
One molecule of Oxygen Gas (O2) combines with two molecules of Hydrogen Gas (2H2) to form two molecules of water 2H2O. O2+2H2=> 2H2O There are the same numbers of H's and O's either side of the = meaning the equation is balanced, in respect of the fact that Oxygen and Hydrogen Gas have diatomic molecules (2 atoms stick together)
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.
