Answer:

10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the given reaction:


Cr + Fe(NO_3)_2 \rightarrow Fe + Cr(NO_3)_3

By knowing the law of conservation of mass must be respected, the following coefficients do balance the chemical equation:


2Cr + 3Fe(NO_3)_2 \rightarrow 3Fe + 2Cr(NO_3)_3

So the sum of all the coefficients is 10.

Regards.
