Question

Balance this equation and pick the answer with the coefficients that belong there.

Answer 1

Answer:

2,3,6,1

2,3,6,1

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction expression is given as:

  AlBr₃    +    K₂SO₄  →    KBr  + Al₂(SO₄)₃

We need to balanced this reaction equation. Our approach is a mathematical method where we assign variable a,b,c and d as the coefficients.

 aAlBr₃    +    bK₂SO₄  →    cKBr  + dAl₂(SO₄)₃

Conserving Al;  a  = 2d

                   Br:  3a  = c

                   K:   2b = c

                   S:   b  = 3d

                   O:  4b  = 12d

Let a  = 1, c = 3, d  = $\frac{1}{2}$  b  = $\frac{3}{2}$  

 Multiply through by 2 to give;

     a  = 2, b = 3, c = 6 and d  = 1

 2AlBr₃    +    3K₂SO₄  →    6KBr  + Al₂(SO₄)₃
