Answer 2

okai tell me what you know about this question. Everything

Answer 3

All right. So I don't know too much because Chemistry trips me up, like all the time

Answer 4

Okai the first thing u have to know is that Strontium hydroxide is a good base and HBr is an acid

Answer 5

Oh okay!

Answer 6

So always when an acid reacts with a base it always results in formation of water thus neutralizing the medium ! (generally)

Answer 7

So the balanced equation would be this
2HBr + Sr(OH)2 = 2H2O + SrBr2

Answer 8

Oh wow I didn't know that!
Oh all right so you had to make that based on the fact that one was a base and the other was an acid?

Answer 9

When u have to balance an equation
1) Write the equation with all the products and the reactants
2) Balance the the elements in both reactant and products side

Answer 10

Ahhh!! That makes so much more sense! Thanks sooo much! I really appreciate it :)

Answer 11

No problem :)
