Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Cl

2

+ 2KBr

 

→

2KCl

+

Br

2

Explanation:

Unbalanced Equation

Cl

2

+ KBr

→

KCl

+

Br

2

Balance the Cl

There are 2 Cl atoms on the left side and 1 Cl atom on the right side.

Add a coefficient of 2 in front of KCl on the right side.

Cl

2

+ KBr

→

2KCl

+

Br

2

There are now 2 Cl atoms on both sides.

Balance the Br

There are 2 Br atoms on the right side and 1 Br atom on the left side. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of KBr.

Cl

2

+ 2KBr

→

2KCl

+

Br

2

The equation is now balanced with 2 Cl atoms, 2 K atoms, and 2 Br atoms on both sides of the equation.
