Suppose 5.00 moles of lithium nitrate react with 5.00 moles of magnesium fluoride according to the balanced chemical equation:

\[ \_\_ \text{Li(NO}_3\text{)} \ + \ \_\_ \text{MgF}_2 \rightarrow \_\_ \text{LiF} \ + \ \_\_ \text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 \]

Balance the equation and determine the products formed.

Answer :

Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,

[tex]2LiNO_3+MgF_2\rightarrow 2LiF+Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The unbalanced chemical reaction is,

[tex]LiNO_3+MgF_2\rightarrow LiF+Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]

This reaction is an unbalanced chemical reaction because in this reaction number atoms are not balanced.

In order to balance the chemical equation, the coefficient '2' put before the [tex]LiNO_3[/tex] and [tex]LiF[/tex] then we get the balanced chemical equation.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

[tex]2LiNO_3+MgF_2\rightarrow 2LiF+Mg(NO_3)_2[/tex]
