Which statement correctly explains whether or not this equation is a balanced equation? kmno4 + hcl → kcl + mncl2 + h2o + cl2
a. the equation is not balanced because the number of atoms of each element on the left is not equal to their numbers on the right.
b. the equation is not balanced because there are not any numbers in front of the compounds.
c. the equation is balanced because it has equal amounts of reactants and products.
d. the equation is balanced because it has one of each compound.

The correct answer is A. The equation is not balanced because the number of atoms of each element on the left is not equal to their numbers on the right. 

There is 1 chlorine atom on the left. However, there are 5 chlorine atoms on the right.
There is 1 hydrogen atom on the left, but 2 hydrogen atoms on the right.
There are 4 oxygen atoms on the left, but 1 oxygen atom on the right
There is 1 manganese atom on the left and right side of the equation.
There is also 1 potassium atom on the left and right side.

The equation is clearly not balanced.

The answer to your question really depends on three things: how much water you have, how cold it is to start out, and how cold the things around it are. water actually freezes when it gets to 32 degrees fahrenheit (0 degrees celsius), but the time it takes to get there may be different.  let's start with the first. if you take two glasses, and fill one with a tiny bit of water, and the other about halfway, then put them both in the freezer, the one with less water will freeze first (you can try this at home, but i recommend using plastic cups and not glass ones).  now let's move on to the second part. let's say you have two glasses, and you fill one with really cold water that has been in the refrigerator, and the other with really hot water from the sink. if you put both of them in the freezer, the one that started out colder will freeze first.  for the third part, let's imagine that you have two glasses with the same amount of water in them, and the water is at the same temperature. imagine putting one outside on a really really cold day in georgia, and having a friend in alaska put one outside on the same day. since it would be so much colder in alaska, the glass of water there would freeze before yours.  so, if you took a tiny bit of really cold water in a glass, and put it outside on a cold day in alaska, it would freeze a lot faster than a big glass of hot water outside on a cold day in georgia.
