Question: | 1 Chlorine (Cl) + 1 Chlorine (Cl) + 1 Potassium (K) + 1 Zinc (Zn) |
Solution: | KZnCl₄ |
Chemical Equation: | 2Cl + K + Zn → KZnCl₄ |
Explanation: | This synthesis reaction involves the combination of potassium (K), zinc (Zn), and chlorine (Cl) to form potassium tetrachlorozincate(II) (KZnCl₄). Think of it like this: K⁺ and Zn²⁺ are cations ➕ attracted to the Cl⁻ anions ➖, forming a complex compound. The balanced equation shows that two chlorine atoms are needed to balance the charges. 🧪 ➡️ 🔬 |
