Rachel Maddiee Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have to show my work for this question and I’m not sure if this is the correct way to do it H2(g) + CI2(g) —> 2HCI(g) The balanced equation is H2 + CI2 —> 2HCI There are two hydrogen (H) atoms on the reactants side and two chlorine (CI) atoms on the reactants side. Two hydrogen (H) atoms and two chlorine (CI) atoms are produced. To balance them, we put a coefficient of 2 in front of the product hydrogen chloride (HCI).

hypervalent_iodine Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Most students I've encountered find a table to be quite helpful with these questions, though this is probably not a complicated enough example to really warrant it. Your answer is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
