Write balanced equations for the following:
K3P + Ge =
Al2(CO3)3 + AgBr
Cr(ClO3)3 =
To write balanced equations, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
1. K3P + Ge:
To balance this equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. The given equation is already balanced since there is only one of each element on both sides:
K3P + Ge
2. Al2(CO3)3 + AgBr:
To balance this equation, we'll need to count the number of atoms for each element on both sides:
On the left-hand side (LHS):
Al: 2
C: 3
O: 9 (3 from CO3, multiplied by 3)
Ag: 1
Br: 1
On the right-hand side (RHS):
Al: 2
C: 1
O: 3
Ag: 1
Br: 1
To balance the equation, we can place coefficients in front of the compounds:
Al2(CO3)3 + 3AgBr → Al2Br6 + 3CO2 + 3AgCl
This equation is balanced, with the same number of atoms for each element on both sides.
3. Cr(ClO3)3:
To balance this equation, we'll need to count the number of atoms for each element on both sides:
On the left-hand side (LHS):
Cr: 1
Cl: 3
O: 9 (3 from ClO3, multiplied by 3)
On the right-hand side (RHS):
Cr: 1
Cl: 3
O: 9
Since the number of atoms for each element is already the same on both sides, the equation is already balanced:
Cr(ClO3)3
