**Balancing Chemical Reactions** In the following exercise, balance the chemical equation provided. Calculate and enter the sum of the balanced coefficients as your answer. For this purpose, consider any "blank" coefficients to have a value of 1. **Chemical Reaction:** Copper (II) oxide + Chloric acid → Copper (II) chlorate + Water --- **Instructions:** 1. Balance the equation by ensuring that the number of atoms for each element is equal on both the reactant and product sides. 2. Assign coefficients to each compound involved in the reaction. 3. Sum up the coefficients, treating any blank coefficient as 1, and enter this sum in the space provided.

Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

Balancing chemical equations makes sure each element in reactants and product sides are in an equal number.

Always balance the element which is present only in one reactant and one product.

Then, the remaining elements are balanced accordingly.

The unbalanced reaction is 

CuO+HCl→CuCl2 + H2O
