A.
H2SO4(aq) + LiOH(aq) Li2SO4(aq) + H2O(l)
LHS: 3H, 1S, 5O, 1Li
RHS: 2H, 1S, 5O, 2Li
Multiply LioH by 2 and H2O by 2
The Balanced equation is
H2SO4(aq) + 2LiOH(aq) Li2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
LHS: 4H, 1S, 6O, 2Li
RHS: 4H, 1S, 6O, 2Li
B.
Na(s) + O2(g) Na2O(s)
The balanced equation is
4 Na(s) + O2(g)
2Na2O(s)
The reason is simply that there are 2 Na atoms for each O atom, but
since you started with 2 oxygens you need to maintain that ratio by
multiplying the right side by 2 and that gives you 4 Na atoms.
(C)
NaOH(aq) + FeCl3(aq) Fe(OH)3(s) + 3NaCl(aq)
The balanced equation is
3NaOH(aq) + FeCl3(aq) Fe(OH)3(s) + 3NaCl(aq)
Fe(OH)3(s) is the percepitate.
(D)
Na2S (aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl (aq) + H2S(g)
The balanced equation is
Na2S (aq) + 2 HCl (aq) 2 NaCl (aq) + H2S(g)
H2S(g) is the gas
