Answer:
make sure that the number of atoms on the left side of the equation equals the number of atoms on the right.
Explanation:
Answer:
None of these are correct, because there is no way to balance this equation, but I hope these steps help you figure out your answer.
Explanation:
Count out the single amounts of elements you have on both sides of the equation. To be balanced, you need to have the exact same for each element.
Before balanced Left side.
Cl-2
O-8
H-2
Before balanced right side.
H-1
Cl-1
O-3
That means we need to increase Hydrogen, Chlorine and Oxygen on the right for sure and see how that affects the equation. You can keep adding the Coefficients until the # of elements begin to match on each side.
(I tried to balance this equation, it doesn't work, there is too much on the reactants side for what the product is.)
-log (1×10^-12) is how you calculate the pOH which in this case is 12
