Transcribed Image Text:Balance the following equations:
(a) Mg + HNO H2 + Mg(NO)
(b) CaC + H0 Ca(OH); + CH
(c) S+O - SO
(d) UO2 + HF
UF+ H2O
Expert Solution

Step 1
a) Mg + HNO3 -------> H2 + Mg(NO3)2
Since in RHS we have 2 NO3 ions. Hence making it 2 in LHS also
=> Mg + 2 HNO3 -------> H2 + Mg(NO3)2
Now all the atoms are equal in both side of the reaction
hence the balanced reaction is
=> Mg + 2 HNO3 -------> H2 + Mg(NO3)2
Step 2
b) CaC2 + H2O -----------> Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
Since we have 2 O in RHS. Hence making it 2 in LHS also
=> CaC2 + 2 H2O -----------> Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
Now all the atoms are equal in both side of the reaction
hence the balanced reaction is
=> CaC2 + 2 H2O -----------> Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
