Question

Hiii please help me for balancing chemical equations:

potassium iodide + chlorine ------> potassium chloride + iodine​

Answer 1

KI + Cl2 = KCl + I2

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps!!!

Answer 2

2KI +Cl₂ → 2KCl +I₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Potassium ion: K+

Iodide ion: I-

Thus, potassium iodide is KI.

Chlorine exist as a diatomic molecule thus it is written as Cl₂.

Chloride ion: Cl-

Thus, potassium chloride is KCl.

Iodine also exist as a diatomic molecule, thus it is written as I₂.

Write an unbalanced equation:

KI +Cl₂ → KCl +I₂

Now balance by ensuring the number of atoms of each element on each side is the same.

LHS

K: 1 ×2= 2

I: 1 ×2= 2

Cl₂: 2

RHS:

K: 1 ×2= 2

I: 2

Cl: 1 ×2= 2

Thus, the balanced equation is:

2KI +Cl₂ → 2KCl +I₂
