Balance the following chemical equation if necessary:
V2O5 (s) + HCl (aq) ---> VOCl3 (s) + H2O (l)

Hey there!

V₂O₅ + HCl → VOCl₃ + H₂O

Balance V.

2 on the left, 1 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of VOCl₃.

V₂O₅ + HCl → 2VOCl₃ + H₂O  

Balance O.

5 on the left, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂O.

V₂O₅ + HCl → 2VOCl₃ + 3H₂O  

Balance H.

1 on the left, 6 on the right. Add a coefficient of 6 in front of HCl.

V₂O₅ + 6HCl → 2VOCl₃ + 3H₂O  

Balance Cl.

6 on the left, 6 on the right. Already balanced.

Our final balanced equation:

V₂O₅ + 6HCl → 2VOCl₃ + 3H₂O  

Hope this helps!

lol for the pointsss

1. a)c-14 has two more protons

2. d)they have different numbers of protons, neutrons, and valence electrons; they are all gases at room temperature.

3. c) iron and nickel.
