    The answer to your question is 2

    Explanation:

    1. - Write the equation a check if it is balanced or not

    LaC₂ + H₂O ⇒ La (OH) ₃ + C₂H₂ + H₂

    1 - La - 1

    2 - C - 2

    2 - H - 7

    1 - O - 3

    2. - The reaction is not balanced so lets do it

    LaC₂ + 3H₂O ⇒ La (OH) ₃ + C₂H₂ + H₂

    1 - La - 1

    2 - C - 2

    6 - H - 7

    3 - O - 3

    LaC₂ + 3H₂O ⇒ La (OH) ₃ + C₂H₂ + 1/2H₂

    1 - La - 1

    2 - C - 2

    6 - H - 6

    3 - O - 3

    2LaC₂ + 6H₂O ⇒ 2La (OH) ₃ + 2C₂H₂ + 1H₂

    2 - La - 2

    4 - C - 4

    12 - H - 12

    6 - O - 6
