Title: Percent?
Post by: Hodge on December 08, 2004, 10:43:49 PM

What is the sum of all coefficents when the following equation is balanced with the smallest whole number coefficients?

Cl2 + Ca(OH)2     ~      Ca(ClO4)2 + H2O

8Cl2 + 8Ca(OH)2 = Ca(ClO4)2 + 7CaCl2 + 8H2O

2Cl2 + 2Ca(OH)2 = Ca(ClO)2 + CaCl2 + 2H2O
