How to Balance MnO2 + HCl = Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O

To balance MnO2 + HCl = Cl2 + MnCl2 + H2O you'll need to be sure to count all of atoms on each side of the chemical equation.

Once you know how many of each type of atom you can only change the coefficients (the numbers in front of atoms or compounds) to balance the equation for Manganese (II) oxide + Hydrochloric acid.

Important tips for balancing chemical equations:

Only change the numbers in front of compounds (the coefficients).
Never change the numbers after atoms (the subscripts).
The number of each atom on both sides of the equation must be the same for the equation to be balanced.

thank u so much bruh its so hard to figure this out online

I’m 30 y/o and just got back in college and I just want to say, I wish the internet was this advanced back when I went to college fresh out of HS! Your channel helps me sooo much. Very simple and clear in explanation. I love it thank you!

Dear sir, i Just came into 10th standard and found your account.
Love you sir u helped me in today's homework 💞

As a 10th grader who just got introduced to some "tough" chemistry this channel helps me so much with balancing

[dimpleregalario]

This is the best explaination I wanted to hear from the very first. Thank you

[thec-teamtechnicalgamers]

I don't know why.... But I am in love with your videos sir.🤗😄😄

[andreasales]

what type of reaction is that chemical reaction? is it combination/synthesis reaction? decomposition reaction? single replacement reaction? or double replacement reaction? please respond asap thank u

[pdevi]

Sir your explanation was awesome 🤩🤩
Thanks a lot

We can do every equation having positive and negative electron through same method?

[VHedits]

Can we use ion electron method or oxidation number balance rule or this method is fine?

[sujitdutta]

Thank you sir.. It is very much helpful

[HetarshiRaval]

Love from india thankyou so much for the video

[SuchASnack]

Well explained! But can I ask how if the name “Manganese (II) oxide” is the formula of MnO2? When I tried to balance Manganese (II) oxide, I got MnO and not MnO2 and I’m still a little confused

[bobonya]

how do you balance it using redox balance method

[parnasridatta]

Thank you sir.now it's easy for me.😊

Thak you, gracias a este video pude ver que tenia mal en el ejercicio ajjsjjs

jsjsjsjs si no entiendo en español creo que menos en ingles xD

[manthajdhote]

It's chlorine so technically it must be Cl-1
