Answer to Problem 73AP

Cl2+2KBrBr2+2KCl is the balanced equation.

Explanation of Solution

The given equation is,

Cl2+KBrBr2+KCl

The equation is not balanced as there are two chlorine atoms in the reactant side and product has only one. The reactant side has one bromine and the product side has two bromine. This unbalanced equation is balanced by multiplying two to the potassium bromide on the reactant side and 2 on the product side of potassium chloride.

The balanced equation is given as,

Cl2+2KBrBr2+2KCl.

Explanation of Solution

The given equation is,

Cr(s)+O2(g)Cr2O3(s)

The equation is unbalanced with 2 oxygen atoms on the reactant and three on the product. To balance 4 is multiplied to the chromium and three with oxygen on the reactant side. On the product side two is multiplied to chromium oxide.

The balanced equation is

4Cr(s)+3O2(g)2Cr2O3(s).
