Question

What is the full balanced equation of Ca(s) and Sn(NO₃)₄?

a. 3Ca(s) + 2Sn(NO₃)₄ -> 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Sn
b. 2Ca(s) + Sn(NO₃)₄ -> 2 Ca(NO₃)₂ + Sn
c. Ca(s) + 2Sn(NO₃)₄ -> Ca(NO₃)₂ + Sn
d. Ca(s) + Sn(NO₃)₄ -> Ca(NO₃)₂ + Sn

Answer 1

The correct balanced equation for the reaction between Ca(s) and Sn(NO₃)₄ is 3Ca(s) + 2Sn(NO₃)₄ -> 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Sn.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct balanced equation for the reaction between Ca(s) and Sn(NO₃)₄ is a. 3Ca(s) + 2Sn(NO₃)₄ -> 3 Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2Sn. This equation is balanced because the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.
