Question

Explanation / Answer

3NaBr + KBrO3 +3H2SO4 -> 2Br2 +3H2O + 3NaKSO4 1) notice that Na & Br are both balanced on both sides 2) next, you want to balance Oxygens (not the ones inSO4 though), there are 3 on the left, only 1 on theright so put 3H2O) 3)Due to step 2, there are now 6 H on the right side but only 2 onthe left, so put 3H2SO4 4)due to step 3, there are now 3 of SO4 on the left, andonly 1 on the right so the right becomes 3NaKSO4 5) due to step 4, there are now 3 Na on the right and only 1 on theleft, so put 3NaBr 6) due to step 5 , there are now 4 Br (3 from NaBr and 1 fromKBrO3) and only 2 on the right, so put2Br2) 3NaBr + KBrO3 +3H2SO4 -> 2Br2 +3H2O + 3NaKSO4
