Answer:
Explanation:
The equation:
F₂ + NaI → NaF + I₂
Balancing of chemical equation involves the conservation of species that are reacting on both sides.
To do this, we can set up simple mathematical equations to this regard;
aF₂ + bNaI → cNaF + dI₂
a, b, c and d are the coefficients that will balance the equation;
conserving F; 2a = c
Na; b = c
I; b = 2d
let a = 1
c = 2
b = 2
d = 1
F₂ + 2NaI → 2NaF + I₂
The coefficients of the products are 2 and 1
