Question

When the equation Eg(s) + DnGO4(aq) ---> Dn(s) + Eg2(GO4)3(aq) is balanced, what is the coefficient in

Answer 1

B) 2

You would first balance GO4 by adding a coefficient of 3 in front of DnGO4 in the reactants. Then you’d balance the 3DnGO4 by adding a coefficient of 3 in front of Dn in the products. Finally you’d balance Eg by adding a coefficient of 2 in front of Eg to balance with the Eg2(GO4)3 in the products.
