Answer:
Cd(NO₃)₂ + 2NH₄Cl → CdCl₂ + 2NH₄NO₃
Explanation:
The reaction given is a double replacement reaction, which means that the reactants will dissociate and the ions will be changed between them. So, let's identify the ions.
At Cd(NO₃)₂, the metal Cd has cation Cd⁺², and the anion is NO₃⁻ (the number of ions is changed and the cation is the first to appear in the formula). At NH₄Cl, the cation is NH₄⁺ and the anion is Cl⁻, so the products are CdCl₂ and NH₄NO₃ (the cation comes first, and the charges are replaced between them).
So, the reacion will be:
Cd(NO₃)₂ + NH₄Cl → CdCl₂ + NH₄NO₃
To balance the equation, all the elements must have the same number on both sides, thus we need to multiply NH₄Cl and NH₄NO₃ by 2:
Cd(NO₃)₂ + 2NH₄Cl → CdCl₂ + 2NH₄NO₃
