Question

What is the balanced form of the following equation? Br2 + S2O3^2- + H2O → Br^1– + SO4^2– + H^+

Answer 1

it might help to make a chart and organize what you have down so far to help you balance it. You know that to balance, it means that you must have equal amounts on both sides.
If I have 2 Br on product side, u obviously gotta have 2 Br on the reactant side. How else would you make em form. Right?
I will help you out:

Try and fill in the rest. Your next step is to find a number that u can use to multiply to make them equal each other on both sides. Remember that it follows distributive property that you learned in algebra.\[2(AB) = 2A2B. \] \[A_2 \rightarrow 2A\]
