Question

.....k+.....HgCl2 gives u...... Hg+ KCl

Answer 1

2K + HgCl2 —> Hg + 2KCl

Step-by-step explanation:

K + HgCl2 —> Hg + KCl

The above equation is not balanced

To balance the equation, do the following.

First, put 2 in front of KCl, the equation becomes,

K + HgCl2 —> Hg + 2KCl

Now we see that Cl is balanced but K is not. To balance K, put 2 in front of K as shown below:

2K + HgCl2 —> Hg + 2KCl

Now we can that the equation is balanced
