(Always remember that when your balancing an equation check the number of moles in the product side.)

${\bold{\purple{✰}}}$${\underline{\bold{\orange{Balanced \ Equation:-}}}}$ An equation is called a Balanced equation when the molecular weight of compounds at the reactants should be equal to the molecular weight of the compounds in products.

Mg + HCl ${\bold{\red{⟼}}}$ MgCl2 + H2

The number of moles of the molecules present in reactant side is as follows

${\bold{\blue{➜}}}$${\bold{\pink{Reactants:-}}}$

• Mg = 1 mole
• H = 1 mole
• Cl = 1 mole

The number of moles of the molecules present in product side is as follows

${\bold{\green{➜}}}$${\bold{\purple{Products:-}}}$

• Mg = 1 mole
• Cl = 2 moles
• H = 2 moles

So, for a balanced equation the changes in moles should be done like

The number of moles of the molecules present in reactant side after balancing is as follows

${\bold{\red{➜}}}$${\bold{\orange{Reactants:-}}}$

• Mg = 1 mole
• H = 2 moles
• Cl = 2 moles

The number of moles of the molecules present in product after balancing side is as follows

${\bold{\green{➜}}}$${\bold{\purple{Products:-}}}$

• Mg = 1 mole
• Cl = 2 moles
• H = 2 moles

So, the balanced equation will be

Mg + 2HCl ${\bold{\red{⟼}}}$ MgCl2 + H2
