Emanuel Esparza · Answer 1

The correct option is B.

The balanced equation for the reaction is as follow:

CaCl2 + 2AgNO3 = 2AgCl + Ca [NO3]2.

To determine if the equation is balanced, check out the quantity of each element on both sides of the equation.

On the reactant side, there are one calcium atom, two chlorine atoms, two silver atoms and two nitrate molecules. On the product side, there are one calcium atom, two chlorine atoms, two silver atoms and two nitrate molecules. This means that the equation is balanced.

To balance it it have to be CaCl2+2 AgNo3=2 AgCl + Ca (NO3) 2 so the answer is b which is 2
