Answer from: fatherbamboo

12 HClO₄ + 1 P₄O₁₀ → 4 H₃PO₄ + 6 Cl₂O₇

Explanation

Balance by the conservation of atoms.

Assign coefficient 1 to the species with the largest number of elements and atoms. H₃PO₄ contains three elements. Each of its molecule contains eight atoms, that's two more than the six atoms in a HClO₄ molecule. Start by assigning H₃PO₄ a coefficient of 1.

? HClO₄ + ? P₄O₁₀ → 1 H₃PO₄ + ? Cl₂O₇

There are now three H atoms, one P atom on the product side. H₃PO₄ is the only product that contains H and P atoms. As a result, there should be the same number of H and P atoms on the reactant side.

Among all reactants, only HClO₄ contains H atoms. Each HClO₄ molecule contains one H atom. Three H atoms correspond to three HClO₄ molecule.Among all reactants, only P₄O₁₀ contains P atoms. Each P₄O₁₀ molecule contains four P atoms. One P atom corresponds to 1/4 of a P₄O₁₀ molecule.

Thus

3 HClO₄ + 1/4 P₄O₁₀ → 1 H₃PO₄ + ? Cl₂O₇

There are three Cl atoms in three HClO₄ molecules. HClO₄ is the only species that contains Cl among all reactants. There are three Cl atoms on the reactant side and shall be the same number of Cl atoms on the product side.

Cl₂O₇ is the only molecule that contains Cl among the products. Each Cl₂O₇ molecule contains two Cl atoms. Three Cl atoms will correspond to 3/2 Cl₂O₇ molecules.

3 HClO₄ + 1/4 P₄O₁₀ → 1 H₃PO₄ + 3/2 Cl₂O₇

Multiply both sides by the least common multiple of the denominators to eliminate the fraction. The least common multiple in this case is four.

12 HClO₄ + 1 P₄O₁₀ → 4 H₃PO₄ + 6 Cl₂O₇

Answer from: Quest

the balanced equation for reaction of ca metal with o2 to produce cao is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

explanation

the reaction is balanced since the number of atoms in reactant side is equal to number of atoms in product side. for example they are 2 atom of ca in reactant side and 2 atoms of ca in the product side.

the process is a meet the requirement of redox reaction because : calcium is oxidized from oxidation state 0 to 2+ while oxygen is reduced from oxidation state 0 to 2-

Silver tarnishes as silver metal reacts with hydrogen sulfide, h2s, in the air. in this reaction, dark silver sulfide, au2s, covers the surface of silver. when silver is polished, this coating of silver sulfide can be removed from the surface. this makes the silver shiny again. enter the coefficients that balance the tarnishing reaction equation. (type 1 for no coefficient.)
