Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have been given an equation.Ca(s)+Br2(l)CaBr2(s)

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplify

To balance the equation, follow the steps below.

  • Calculate the number of distinct types of atoms in the reactants and products.
  • Increase the amount of atoms or molecules in the substances by putting coefficients in front of symbols or formulas as needed.
  • Repeat steps one and two until the equation is balanced.

We acquire results by repeating these actions.

Ca(s)+Br2(l)CaBr2(s)

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information:

We have been given an equation.P4(s)+O2(g)P4O10(s)

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplify

To balance the equation, follow the steps below.

  • Calculate the number of distinct types of atoms in the reactants and products.
  • Increase the amount of atoms or molecules in the substances by putting coefficients in front of symbols or formulas as needed.
  • Repeat steps one and two until the equation is balanced.

We acquire results by repeating these actions.
