Problem

Experiments show that every time 4 molecules of F₂ react completely with 6 atoms of element G, 4 molecules of GF₃ are produced and no unreacted F or G remains. Which balanced equation, written with the smallest whole-number coefficients, is supported by these data? a) 3 G+2 F2→G3F43\,\mathrm{G} + 2\,\mathrm{F}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{G}_3\mathrm{F}_4 b) 4 G+6 F2→4 GF34\,\mathrm{G} + 6\,\mathrm{F}_2 \rightarrow 4\,\mathrm{GF}_3 c) 2 G+3 F2→2 GF32\,\mathrm{G} + 3\,\mathrm{F}_2 \rightarrow 2\,\mathrm{GF}_3 d) G+3 F2→GF6\mathrm{G} + 3\,\mathrm{F}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{GF}_6
