Answer:

There are seven oxygen atoms in total on the product side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The oxygen atom is present in both the species of CO₂ and H₂O. As there are two molecules of CO₂, so the number of oxygen atoms from it will be 4. There are three molecules of H₂O in the product side so oxygen atoms from it will be three. So, the total number of oxygen from both species is seven.
