If the reaction occurs between K2CO3(aq) and Cu(NO3)2(aq) and the equation is properly balanced with the smallest whole-number coefficients, what is the sum of the coefficients for all reactants and products?

Answer: 5

Balanced Reaction:

1K_2CO_3 + 1Cu(NO_3)_2 ⇒
2KNO_3 + 1CuCO_3

When taking the coefficients we are left with 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 5
