I don't fully comprehend what this question is asking and howand where I am supposed to start..the question is "For each of thefollowing chemical reactions, write the correct element and/orcompound symbols, formulas, and coefficients needed to producecomplete, balanced equations. In all cases, the reactants areelements and the products are binary compiunds. a). ___ ___ + ___ ___ Yields/= __ Mg3P2 b). ___ Al + ___ F2 Yields/= ___ ___ If anybody who could clarify this for me or walk me thru thesteps, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You I don't fully comprehend what this question is asking and howand where I am supposed to start..the question is "For each of thefollowing chemical reactions, write the correct element and/orcompound symbols, formulas, and coefficients needed to producecomplete, balanced equations.

Explanation / Answer

the last sentence gives the help the reactents are elements and the products are binary so that means x+y= xy the blanks are there for number element so foreg the first one is _Mg+_P= _Mg3P2 then just balance 3Mg+ 2P = 1 Mg3P2 same with the next one AlF3 is product since Al3+ and f- ill let you try and balance that. hint there will be 2 AlF3
