Balance the following chemical equation:
NaBr+
Cl2, –
NaCl+
Br2

Hey there!

NaBr + Cl₂ → NaCl + Br₂

First balance Na.

One on the left, one on the right: already balanced.

Next balance Br.

One on the left, two on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaBr.

2NaBr + Cl₂ → NaCl + Br₂

Lastly balance Cl.

Two on the left, one on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of NaCl.

2NaBr + Cl₂ → 2NaCl + Br₂  

This is our final balanced equation.

Hope this helps!

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
