count the elements in eqn MgI2 + Br2 -> MgBr2 + I2
1 Mg, 2I, 2Br on the left n
1 Mg, 2I, 2Br on the right
they are equal so the eqn is balanced
The elephant has more inertia than the dog so it takes more force to change the motion of the elephant.
The three situations can be described as
a) If we have two white powders and wish to distinguish between the two : the combinations can be sugar / salt or sugar / baking soda or salt / baking soda
all are kitchen items so we can either taste them
or in case of baking soda we can add it in water and it will produce brisk effervescence.
b) IF we have to distinguish in a given set of two transparent liquids which appear to be water (example water and vinegar)
we can identify them with the taste
we can identify them based on pH (vinegar will be acidic)
c) We have to find adulteration in a given sample of food
like adulteration in milk
for example presence of soap in milk
We can add indicator like phenolphthalein which will bring a pink colour in milk if soap is present
