Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

- the key thing to note is that balancing is simply having equal amounts of all the compounds in an equation

1) look at how many there are in each compound i.e. cl2 has 2 and HCl has 1 hydrogen and 1 chlorine

2) balance the reactants with its products

this is done by adding a number in front of a compound

e.g. ch4 + cl2 = ccl4 + hcl

balanced: ch4 + 4cl2 = ccl4 + 4hcl

this is because there isnt equal elements of the compounds
