Question

Which of these equations is balanced? a. H2SO4 + 2Al → Al2(SO4)3 + H2 b. 2KCl + Pb(NO3)2 → 2KNO3 + PbCl2

Answer 1

a is not, left side has too little SO4
v is correct, it is balanced, just make sure the elements of each side are the same

Answer 2

The answer is B, you just check if it is the same on the left and right side

A:
Left side - Right side
2xH - 2xH
1xS - 3xS
4xO - 12xO
2xAl - 2xAl

Therefore A is not correct

B:
Left side - right side
2xK - 2xK
1xCl - 1xCl
1xPb - 1xPb
2xN - 2xN
6xO - 6xO

B is therefore correct as both sides add up
