What is the atom inventory for the following equation after it is properly balanced? ____K2S + ____CoCl2 Imported Asset ____KCl

Scilla [17]

Answer:

Reactants: K = 2, S = 1, Co = 1, Cl = 2; Products: K = 2, S = 1, Co = 1, Cl = 2

Explanation:

The reaction is a double replacement reaction so the anions (Cl⁻ and S²⁻) switch places.

1 K₂S + 1 CoCl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl + 1 CoS (balanced chemical equation)

On the reactants and products side, K = 2, S = 1, Co = 1, and Cl = 2.

Hope that helps.
