Question

Does anyone know how to balance this chemical equation? B2Br5 + HNO3 -> B(NO3)3 + HBr. (The 2, 5, and 3's are all subscripts.) Please explain this to me!!! :(

Answer 1

First you balance the B, then the Br then you should get the rest.

Answer 2

Sorry I wrote the product side wrong, it's B(NO3)3 + HBr

Answer 3

I'm confused about the the subscript inside the parenthesis and the one on the outside of the parenthesis. Do I just multiply 3 and 3 together?

Answer 4

For the O, yes

Answer 5

The paranthesis is because NO3 exist together as an anion.

Answer 6

So the Nitrogen would equal 3 and the oxygen would equal 9?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

I got this..
