Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The substances that are categorized under molecular compounds in the given chemical equation are to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Compounds are identified by grouping the elements involved as a metal, a non-metal, or a metalloid. Molecular compounds are ones that involve a combination of two metals, non-metals, or metalloids to form covalent bonds by the transfer of electrons between them.

Mg(OH)2(s)+2HNO3(aq)→
the balanced chemical formula?
You carefully weigh out 17.00 g g of CaCO 3 CaCO3 powder and add it to 68.85 g g of HCl HCl solution. You notice bubbles as a reaction takes place. You then weigh the resulting solution and find that it has a mass of 78.88 g g . The relevant equation is
CaCO 3 (s)+2HCl(aq)→H 2 O(l)+CO 2 (g)+CaCl 2 (aq) CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→H2O(l)+CO2(g)+CaCl2(aq)
Assuming no other reactions take place, what mass of CO 2 CO2 was produced in this reaction?
The fluoride rinse in dental offices usually contains sodium fluoride. Sodium fluoride can be prepared from the reaction between sodium metal and fluorine gas. Which properly represents the balanced chemical equation for this reaction?
Na(s) + F2(g) → NaF2(s)
Na(s) + F(g) → NaF(s)
7Na(s) + F(g) → Na7F(s)
2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2Na2F(s)
2Na(s) + F2(g) → 2NaF(s)
Why is it important to understand this equation? What do you think could happen if this is incorrect?

Need help with this portion
For balancing equations my approach is trial by error.
We want to sum up the atoms on each side and change the coefficients (number in front of each chemical species) until they are equal.
I find the easiest way is to play with the numbers until they add up, and with practice you will see some patterns emerge. There is also this method below recommend by the book.
However you choose to approach it is up to you, everyone has their…
