Question

What is the correct balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous ammonium chloride reacts with aqueous barium nitrate to produce solid barium chloride and aqueous ammonium nitrate?

Answer 1

`2NH_(4)Cl + Ba(NO_(3) )_(2)` ⇒
`BaCl_(2) + 2NH_(4)NO_(3)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In balancing a chemical equation we make sure the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side of the equation equals that on the product side

`NH_(4)Cl + Ba(NO_(3) )_(2)` ⇒
`BaCl_(2) + NH_(4)NO_(3)`

The equation above represents an unbalanced equation of the reaction of aqueous ammonium chloride with aqueous barium nitrate .we can balance this equation by adding the right coefficients to reactants and product.

`2NH_(4)Cl + Ba(NO_(3) )_(2)` ⇒
`BaCl_(2) + 2NH_(4)NO_(3)`
