Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: 49 Balancing Chemical Equations Worksheets [with Answers]
To solve the problem of balancing chemical equations, we need to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation. Here are the balanced equations for each problem:

1. \( \text{AlBr}_3 + \text{K} \rightarrow \text{KBr} + \text{Al} \)


- Balance Al: 1 Al on both sides.
- Balance Br: 3 Br on the left, so we need 3 KBr on the right.
- Balance K: 3 K on the right, so we need 3 K on the left.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{1 \text{AlBr}_3 + 3 \text{K} \rightarrow 3 \text{KBr} + 1 \text{Al}} \]

2. \( \text{FeO} + \text{PdF}_2 \rightarrow \text{FeF}_2 + \text{PdO} \)


- Balance Fe: 1 Fe on both sides.
- Balance O: 1 O on both sides.
- Balance Pd: 1 Pd on both sides.
- Balance F: 2 F on the left and 2 F on the right.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{1 \text{FeO} + 1 \text{PdF}_2 \rightarrow 1 \text{FeF}_2 + 1 \text{PdO}} \]

3. \( \text{P}_4 + \text{Br}_2 \rightarrow \text{PBr}_3 \)


- Balance P: 4 P on the left, so we need 4 PBr₃ on the right.
- Balance Br: 3 Br in each PBr₃, so 4 PBr₃ requires 12 Br. We have 2 Br in each Br₂, so we need 6 Br₂.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{1 \text{P}_4 + 6 \text{Br}_2 \rightarrow 4 \text{PBr}_3} \]

4. \( \text{LiCl} + \text{Br}_2 \rightarrow \text{LiBr} + \text{Cl}_2 \)


- Balance Li: 1 Li on both sides.
- Balance Cl: 1 Cl on the left, so we need 1 Cl₂ on the right.
- Balance Br: 2 Br on the left, so we need 2 LiBr on the right.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{2 \text{LiCl} + 1 \text{Br}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{LiBr} + 1 \text{Cl}_2} \]

5. \( \text{PbBr}_2 + \text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{HBr} + \text{PbCl}_2 \)


- Balance Pb: 1 Pb on both sides.
- Balance Br: 2 Br on the left, so we need 2 HBr on the right.
- Balance H: 2 H in 2 HBr, so we need 2 HCl on the left.
- Balance Cl: 2 Cl in PbCl₂, so we need 2 HCl on the left.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{1 \text{PbBr}_2 + 2 \text{HCl} \rightarrow 2 \text{HBr} + 1 \text{PbCl}_2} \]

6. \( \text{CoBr}_3 + \text{CaSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{CaBr}_2 + \text{Co}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 \)

- Balance Ca: 2 Ca on the right, so we need 2 CaSO₄ on the left.
- Balance S: 3 S on the right, so we need 3 SO₄²⁻ from 3 CaSO₄.
- Balance O: 12 O on the right, so we need 12 O from 3 CaSO₄.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{2 \text{CoBr}_3 + 3 \text{CaSO}_4 \rightarrow 2 \text{CaBr}_2 + 1 \text{Co}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3} \]

7. \( \text{Na}_3\text{P} + \text{CaF}_2 \rightarrow \text{NaF} + \text{Ca}_3\text{P}_2 \)


- Balance Na: 3 Na in Na₃P, so we need 3 NaF on the right.

\[ \boxed{2 \text{Na}_3\text{P} + 3 \text{CaF}_2 \rightarrow 6 \text{NaF} + 1 \text{Ca}_3\text{P}_2} \]

8. \( \text{Mn} + \text{HI} \rightarrow \text{H}_2 + \text{MnI}_3 \)


- Balance Mn: 1 Mn on both sides.
- Balance I: 3 I in MnI₃, so we need 3 HI on the left.
- Balance H: 2 H in H₂, so we need 2 HI on the left (already balanced with 3 HI).

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{1 \text{Mn} + 3 \text{HI} \rightarrow 1 \text{H}_2 + 1 \text{MnI}_3} \]

- Balance Li: 2 Li in Li₂SO₄, so we need 2 LiF on the right.
- Balance S: 1 S on both sides.
- Balance O: 4 O on both sides.

Balanced equation:
\[ \boxed{1 \text{CaF}_2 + 1 \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow 1 \text{CaSO}_4 + 2 \text{LiF}} \]

11. \( \text{HBr} + \text{Mg(OH)}_2 \rightarrow \text{MgBr}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)


- Balance Mg: 1 Mg on both sides.
