Balance the chemical equation: C4H6O3 + H2O -> C2H4O2

Here are the balanced chemical equations:

Step 1: Balance equation 10.
$\text{C}_4\text{H}_6\text{O}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O}_2$
To balance the carbon atoms, place a coefficient of 2 in front of $\text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O}_2$.

$$\text{C}_4\text{H}_6\text{O}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2 \text{C}_2\text{H}_4\text{O}_2$$
