Answer:
The balanced equation is given below:
SiO2 + 4HF —> SiF4 + 2H2O
The coefficients are 1, 4, 1, 2
Explanation:
The equation for the reaction is given below:
SiO2 + HF —> SiF4 + H2O
The above equation can be balance by as follow:
There are 4 atoms of F on the right side and 1 atom on the left side. It can be balance by putting 4 in front of HF as shown below:
SiO2 + 4HF —> SiF4 + H2O
Therefore are 4 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of H2O as shown below:
SiO2 + 4HF —> SiF4 + 2H2O
Now the equation is balanced.
