what are the coefficients that would balance this equation in the blanks below. Reduce the coefficients to the simplest ratio.

Question

?NaBr +   ?Cl₂ →   ?NaCl +   ?Br₂

Answer 1

Your balanced equation would look like this:

2NaBr + Cl2==> 2NaCl +Br2

This way you will have:

2Na on both sides

2Br on both sides

and

2Cl on both sides

Notice how there are no numbers as coefficient in front bif Cl2 and Br2, the coefficient is simply 1.

Answer 2

2NaBr + Cl₂ -> 2NaCl + Br₂
