Great video and thanks for the help but I have a quick question.

I'm having trouble with a problem that is as follows:

KCl + Zn3(PO4)2 -> ZnCl2 + K3PO4.

I'm thinking the subscript 2 goes into both of the P and O, but I'm not entirely sure. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

[TheChemistrySolution]

@Snow2theizzo yes, you are right because the subscript is outside of the parentheses.

[Snow2theizzo]

Great video and thanks for the help but I have a quick question.

I have 3Zn(NO), would the parenthesis exclude the NO from 3Zn, or would I have 3O and 3N as well?

[TheChemistrySolution]

@Snow2theizzo You would have 3N and 3O as well.

im kinda getting it now... but how did you get the 8 when you put the 4 infront of HCL?

[TheChemistrySolution]

@blondeindisquiseable There are 8 total, 4 chlorine from the 4 molecules of HCl and 4 chlorine from the one molecule of CCl4.

I still dont understand and im about to cry because I cant fail this semester :(

[TheChemistrySolution]

@xxkitkatandhersheys ...easier to count up the number of each type of atom. Sometimes it is easier to visualize and count this way. Keep adding more of each molecule to either side until you come up with a combination that makes it so there are the same number of each type of atom on each side. Good luck!

today my teacher embarrassed me in front of the whole class because I couldn't understand what he was saying when he was talking about this, he thought I was zoning out as he says but really i was confused, he kept asking me the same questions that I couldn't answer and he kept picking on me . these days teachers cant teach for shit. you have to use the internet for help.

@themomo6710 4HNO3 + Cu ---> Cu(NO3)3 + NO + 2H2O 

[themomo6710]

**sorry (NO3)2

[themomo6710]

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! HNO3+Cu --> Cu(NO3)3+NO+H2O

Wow, my chem teacher took 2 hours to explain this and I learned very little and I watch a 10 min video and I learned what is required.

Bro, I'm in int. Science in 9th grade and I'm learning this.
