the answer to this question would be true just thought u should know lol xd
In order to balance reactions, the number of each element must be the same on the left and right side. If I have 3 of element X on one side, I must have 3 of element X on the other side. That being said:
Zn + Fe(NO3)2 —> ZnNO3 + Fe
I have two NO3 groups on the left, so I will add a coefficient of 2 in front of the compound which has an NO3 group on the right side.
Zn + Fe(NO3)2 —> 2ZnNO3 + Fe
Since I now have 2 Zn’s on the right, and only 1 on the left, I will add a coefficient of 2 in front of Zn on the left.
2Zn + Fe(NO3)2 —> 2ZnNO3 + Fe
Lets check:
Zn: 2 right, 2 left (correct)
Fe: 1 right, 1 left (correct)
NO3 groups: 2 right, 2 left
We have successfully balanced the equation. :)
Yea this makes me happy I love talking about bonds Here is a explanation since there is no question.
In the ionic bond that creates sodium fluoride, for example, the element sodium loses one of its 11 electrons to balance the 9 electrons in Fluoride because the ionization energy of sodium (the charge required to lose an electron) is low.
Glad to help
Have a wonderful day
