Question

Is the following chemical equation balanced?

MgI2 + Br2 MgBr2 + I2

yes

no

Answer 1

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

This chemical equation:

`Mg I_2 + Br_2 \rightarrow Mg Br_2 + I_2`

is balanced, because the number of atoms of each element is the same on the reactant side and on the product side. In fact:

- Mg: one atom on the left, one on the right

- I: 2 atoms on the left, and 2 on the right

- Br: 2 atoms on the left, and 2 on the right

So, the reaction is balanced.
