Question

Balance the following Equation:

A LI₂CO3 (s) + B HCI (aq) -> C LICI (aq) + D H₂O (1) + E CO₂ (g)

a) A = 1; B = 1; C = 1; D = 1; E = 1

b) A= 1; B = 1; C = 2, D = 1; E = 1

c) A= 1, B2, C = 2; D = 1; E = 1

d) A=2; B = 1;, C = 1; D = 2; E = 1

Answer 1

C is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Li2CO3 + HCl - - - - - - -> LiCl + H2O + CO2

Li. Li. H. Li. H. H. C

C Cl. Cl. O. O. O

O. O. O

2 Li ------>1Li so we put 2 in front LiCl on the right side to make 2Li---->2Li.

1H------->2H so we put 2 in front HCl on left side to make

Li2CO3 + 2HCl - - - - - - -> 2LiCl + H2O + CO2
