Which coefficients would be placed in front of water and oxygen?

2 in front of water and 2 in front of oxygen

1 in front of water and 2 in front of oxygen

1 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

2 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

    2 in front of water and 1 in front of oxygen

    Explanation:

    There are 4 oxygen atoms in the reactants, so there will be 4 oxygen atoms in the products.

    If you have 2 O₂ molecules, there won't be any oxygen atoms left for H₂O molecules. So there must be a 1 coefficient in front of the O₂ product.

    If there's 1 O₂, that leaves 2 oxygen atoms for water. So there must be a 2 coefficient in front of the H₂O.
