Question

Balance the equation for the reaction between magnesium sulfate an ammoniaMgSO4 + NH4OH => (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2

Answer 1

MgSO4 + 2NH4OH => (NH4)2SO4 + Mg(OH)2 (BALANCED)

We must know to balance this that we need to have the same number of atoms on both sides.

We only need to multiply NH4OH by 2

We have now 1 Mg, 1 S, 10 H, 2 N, and 6 O on each side.
