(a) NiCO3 + H2SO4 →.
(b) Co(OH)2 + HBr →
(c) AgCH3CO2 + NaCI →
(d) NiO + CO →.
(a)

Interpretation:
- The given reaction has to be classified as precipitation or acid-base or gas forming reaction and the reaction has to be balanced.
- State of the product and reactant should be shown.
Concept introduction:
Precipitation reaction: The formation of the product is insoluble when the ions combine in the solution is called precipitation reaction.
Acid - base reaction: Formation of the salt from the cation from the base and anion from the acid and formation of water is also the product.
Gas forming reaction: The reaction of acid and metal carbonates which produce carbonic acid. The carbonic acid decomposes which gives water and carbon dioxide.
Oxidation - reduction reaction: The electrons are transferred to one to other is called oxidation reduction reaction.
Most of the ionic compounds are soluble in water, very few of the ionic compounds are sparingly soluble, and some of the ionic compounds are insoluble in water. When it is soluble in water ions gets separated in the solution.

The given compound is Cobalt(II) hydroxide and hydrogen bromide. In this reaction Cobalt(II) hydroxide reaction with hydrogen bromide to give cobalt(II) bromide and formation of water is also the product.
Balance the equation,
Balance the bromine atom in the given equation, when balancing the equation, we should not alter the subscripts and we can change coefficients. There are two bromine atoms in the right side and one bromine atoms in the left side. Therefore two molecule of hydrogen bromide is added to left side of reaction. Therefore the balanced equation is given below.
Balance the hydrogen atom in the given equation. There are four hydrogen atoms in the left side and two hydrogen atoms in the right side. Therefore two molecule of water is added to right side of reaction. Therefore the balanced equation is given below.
