Answer:
HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
Explanation:
_HC₂H₃O₂ + _NaHCO₃ —> _NaC₂H₃O₂ + _CO₂ + _H₂O
To balance an equation, we simply do a head count of the individual elements and ensure they are balanced on both side.
For the above equation, we shall balance it as :
HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
Reactant:
H = 5
C = 3
O = 5
Na = 1
Product:
H = 5
C = 3
O = 5
Na = 1
From the above, we can see that each element is the same on both side of the equation. Thus the equation is already balanced
HC₂H₃O₂ + NaHCO₃ —> NaC₂H₃O₂ + CO₂ + H₂O
The coefficients are: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
