Question

Balance the equation by typing in the smallest whole-number coefficients that would balance the equation in front of each reactant and product formula. Normally, a coefficient of one is not shown, but here you must type a 1 if there is only one.

______ HNO₃ +  ______ M(OH)₃ →  _________ + __________

Answer 1

3 HNO₃ + 1 M(OH)₃ ==> 1 M(NO₃)₃ + 3H2O ... balanced eq. for a double replacement reaction
