Question

Ca(s)+br2(l)⟶cabr2(s) express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

The question requires to balance the equation.

The equation is already balanced, so the answer is:

Ca(s)+Br2(l)⟶CaBr2(s)


Explanation:


1) The phases are identified with a letter to the right of the compound or element:


So, for Ca, the phase is (s) which means solid.


For Br₂ (l) the phase is (l) which means liquid.


For CaBr₂(s) the phase is (s) which means solid.


2) The core work of balancing is make the number of atoms of each element on the reactants equal to the same number of atoms on the products side.


That is the law of conservation of mass applied to chemcial reactions.


3) So, you have to add coefficientes on the right place to make the number of atoms on the left side equal to the number of the same kind of atom on the right side.


In this table you can verify that the equation given is balanced:


atom            left side             right side

Ca                  1                           1

Br                   2                           2

So, you do not need to modify any coefficients.

Answer 2

Balancing a chemical equation is defined as the number of moles of atom on reactant and product's side should be same. The given equation is of calcium and bromide, which reacts to form calcium bromide.

Ca$_{(s)}$ + Br$_{2 (l)}$ $\rightarrow \text{CaBr}_{2}$

The phases of each element in the equation can be identified as:

• Calcium is in solid or (s) phase.
• Bromine is in liquid or (l) phase.
• CaBr₂(s) the phase is (s), which means solid.

While balancing the equation, law of conservation of mass is applied. The equation can be represented as:

• Number of calcium atoms on reactants side = 1
• Number of calcium atoms on products side = 1
• Number of  Bromine atoms on reactants side = 2
• Number of Bromine atoms on products side = 2

Therefore, the chemical equation is already balanced, in which calcium is solid phase, bromine is in liquid, and calcium bromide is in solid phase.
