Question

When the following molecular equation is balanced using the smallest possible integer coefficients, the values of these coefficients are: ___ bromine trifluoride (g) ___ bromine (g) + ___ fluorine (g)

Answer 1

Answer: The molecular balanced equation is written below

Explanation:

A molecular equation is defined as the chemical equation in which the ionic compounds are written as molecules rather than component ions.

A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.

The balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of bromine trifluoride follows:

$2BrF_3\rightarrow Br_2+3F_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of bromine trifluoride produces 1 mole of bromine gas and 3 moles of fluorine gas

Hence, the molecular balanced equation is written above.
