Balance the following equation. A coefficient is not needed in front of B₂Br6.
B₂Br + _____ HNO3 →___B(NO3)3 +____
HBr

Answer 1

The balanced equation is:

B₂Br + 6 HNO₃ → 2 B(NO₃)₃ + 3 HBr

In the balanced equation, the coefficient 6 is added in front of HNO₃ to balance the number of nitrogen and oxygen atoms on both sides of the equation. The coefficients 2 and 3 are added in front of B(NO₃)₃ and HBr respectively to balance the number of boron, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen atoms on both sides of the equation.
