Answer is: <span>the coefficient of Hg will be 1.

Balanced chemical reaction: H</span>g²⁺ + 2Ag⁰ → Hg⁰ + 2Ag⁺.
Oxidation half reaction: Ag⁰ → Ag⁺ + e⁻/×2; 2Ag⁰ → 2Ag⁺ + 2e⁻
Reduction half reaction: Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Hg⁰.
Mercury cation gain two electrons and become mercury metal with neutral charge (reduction), silver lost electrons and become silver cation (oxidation).

CaCl2<br> Ca +<br> CI2<br> Balance this equation
Elis [28]

To balance Ca + Cl2 = CaCl2 you'll need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation.

Once you know how many of each type of atom you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation for Calcium + Chlorine gas.
