Answer:
First thing you need to do is to tally the atoms.
S
8
+
F
2
→
S
F
6
(unbalanced)
Based on the subscripts,
Left side: S = 8; F = 2
Right side: S = 1; F = 6
Since you cannot balance an equation by changing subscripts, all you can do is insert the coefficients. Let's start with the easier atom to balance.
S
8
+
F
2
→
8
S
F
6
Left side: S = 8; F = 2
Right side: S = (1 x
8
) = 8; F = (6 x
8
) = 48
Please notice that since
S
F
6
is a substance, you need to multiply the coefficient, not only to S but also to F.
Now to balance the F.
S
8
+
24
F
2
→
8
S
F
6
Left side: S = 8; F = (2 x
24
) = 48
Right side: S = (1 x
8
) = 8; F = (6 x
8
) = 48
The equation is now balanced.
