Question

Balance the following chemical equation:
NaBr+
Cl2, –
NaCl+
Br2​

Answer 1

Hey there!

NaBr + Cl₂ → NaCl + Br₂

First balance Na.

One on the left, one on the right: already balanced.

Next balance Br.

One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaBr.

2NaBr + Cl₂ → NaCl + Br₂

Lastly balance Cl.

Two on the left, one on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaCl.

2NaBr + Cl₂ → 2NaCl + Br₂  

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!
