What is the sum of the coefficients when the following equation is balanced using the lowest, whole numbered coefficients?
Given eqn: B2O3 (s) + HF (l) --> BF3(g) + H2O (l)
My Balanced eqn: B2O3 (s) + 6HF (l) --> 2BF3(g) + 3H2O (l)
a. 8
b. none of these
c. 15
d. 11
Is the answer none because the sum is actually 12?
Thanks.
