Question
Is the chemical equation balanced? Why or why not? $$2 \mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{O}(s)+\mathrm{C}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{Ag}(s)$$
Step 1
On the left side of the equation, we have 4 silver atoms (from 2 $\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{O}$), 2 oxygen atoms (from 2 $\mathrm{Ag}_{2} \mathrm{O}$), and 1 carbon atom (from $\mathrm{C}$). Show more…

Is each chemical equation correctly balanced? If not, correct it. (a) $ \mathrm{SiO}_{2}(s)+4 \mathrm{HF}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{SiF}_{4}(g)+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)$ (b) $2 \mathrm{Cr}(s)+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)$ (c) $\mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{S}_{3}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}(s)+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S}(g)$ (d) $\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{CO}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)$
Is each chemical equation correctly balanced? If not, correct it. (a) $\operatorname{Rb}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow \mathrm{RbOH}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g)$ (b) $2 \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}(g) \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)$ (c) $\operatorname{NiS}(s)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NiO}(s)+\mathrm{SO}_{2}(g)$ (d) $\mathrm{PbO}(s)+2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Pb}(s)+\mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)$
