Question

6/26-What are the coefficients that will balance the skeleton equation below?__Na + __F2 → __NaF-

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} The\text{ coefficients are :} \\ 2\text{ , 1 and 2} \end{gathered}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to balance the given equation

To balance the chemical equation, the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation must be the same

Starting with Fluorine, we have an 2 atoms on the reactant side and 1on the product

We simply put 2 as the coefficient on the product side. That makes the Na atom be 1 and as suc, we simply add 2 to the second Na on the reactant side

Thus, we have the balanced equation of reaction as:

`2Na\text{ + F}_2\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ 2NaF}`
