Answer:

2K +F₂→ 2KF

Explanation:

When we balance an equation, we are trying to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the arrow.

On the left side of the arrow, there is 1 K atom and 2 F atoms. On the right, there is 1 K and 1 F atom.

Since the number of K atoms is currently balanced, balance the number of F atoms.

K +F₂→ 2KF

Now, that the number of F atoms is balanced on both sides, check if the number of K atoms are balanced.

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 1

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The number of K atoms is not balanced.

2K +F₂→ 2KF

<u>Left</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

<u>Right</u>

K atoms: 2

F atoms: 2

The equation is now balanced.
