A reaction is represented by the unbalanced symbol equation:
Mg(NO3)2+NaOH→Mg(OH)2+NaNO3\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2 + \text{NaNO}_3Mg(NO3)2+NaOH→Mg(OH)2+NaNO3
Which version of the symbol equation has the same number of atoms of each element on both sides?
Mg(NO3)2+2NaOH→Mg(OH)2+2NaNO3\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 2\text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2 + 2\text{NaNO}_3Mg(NO3)2+2NaOH→Mg(OH)2+2NaNO3
Mg(NO3)2+3NaOH→Mg(OH)2+3NaNO3\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 3\text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2 + 3\text{NaNO}_3Mg(NO3)2+3NaOH→Mg(OH)2+3NaNO3
2Mg(NO3)2+2NaOH→2Mg(OH)2+2NaNO32\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + 2\text{NaOH} \rightarrow 2\text{Mg(OH)}_2 + 2\text{NaNO}_32Mg(NO3)2+2NaOH→2Mg(OH)2+2NaNO3
Mg(NO3)2+NaOH→Mg(OH)2+2NaNO3\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Mg(OH)}_2 + 2\text{NaNO}_3Mg(NO3)2+NaOH→Mg(OH)2+2NaNO3
