Question

fill out the table below based on the following chemical equation: xe + f2 → xef6 the correct coefficients for the equation is:

Explanation:

Step1: Balance the fluorine atoms

On the product - side, in $XeF_6$, there are 6 fluorine atoms. Since fluorine is present as $F_2$ on the reactant - side, to get 6 fluorine atoms, we need 3 molecules of $F_2$ because $3\times2 = 6$.

Step2: Balance the xenon atoms

There is 1 xenon atom on the reactant - side (as $Xe$) and 1 xenon atom on the product - side (in $XeF_6$), so the coefficient of $Xe$ is 1.

The balanced chemical equation is $Xe + 3F_2
ightarrow XeF_6$.

Answer:

The coefficients are 1 for $Xe$, 3 for $F_2$, and 1 for $XeF_6$.
