I’m just answering this so i can ask more questions and it has to be 20 words long so i hope you figure your problems out and merry christmas happy new year
Answer:
Lithium chloride is a white solid hygroscopic soluble in water.
There should be mass balance and the charge balance between the reactants and the products
Mass balance : total no of individual atoms of each type should be balanced before and after the reaction
Charge balance : Overall charge of the reactants should be balanced with the overall charge of the products
You can balance,
1)by just looking at it
2)by Algebraic method given above or
3)by the redox method
You need to know how to get the oxidation numbers in order to use the oxidation method
Answer:
HgO (empirical formula)
Explanation:
4.08 - 3.78 = 0.3g (oxygen)

0.02 : 0.02
0.02/0.02 : 0.02/0.02
1 : 1 (ratio)
HgO ( empirical formula)
2HgO ----> 2Hg + O2 ( your equation correct)
