Explanation:
Reactants: SiCl4+H2O (1Si, 4Cl+ 2H, 1O)
Products: SiO2+HCl (1Si, O2+ 1H, 1Cl)
Notice how the number of O (oxygen atoms) and H (hydrogen atoms) and Cl (Chlorine) or not the same in the products and reactants, this is an unbalanced equation.
To balance it we must change the coefficients to make it even.
By putting a 2 before
If you don't understand balancing equations at all I would highly suggest watching this:
