Explanation:
To balance the reactions given, we must understand that the principle to follow is the law of conservation of matter.
Based on this premise, the number of moles of species on the reactant and product side must be the same;
Li + Br₂ → LiBr
Put a,b and c as the coefficient of each species
aLi + bBr₂ → cLiBr
balancing Li;
a = c
balancing Br;
2b = c
let a = 1;
c = 1
b =
or a = 2, b = 1 , c = 2
2Li + Br₂ → 2LiBr
P + Cl₂ → PCl₃
Using the same method;
aP + bCl₂ → cPCl₃
balancing P;
a = c
balancing Cl;
2b = 3c
let a = 1;
c = 1
b =
or
a = 2, b = 3, c = 2
2P + 3Cl₂ → 2PCl₃
iii,
H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + H₂O
use coefficients a,b,c and d;
aH₂ + bSO₂ → cH₂S + dH₂O
balancing H;
2a = 2c + 2d
balancing S;
b = c
balancing O
2b = d
let b = 1,
c = 1
d = 2
a = 3
3H₂ + SO₂ → H₂S + 2H₂O
