How to BalanceAgNO3 + KI = AgI + KNO3

How to Balance Silver nitrate + Potassium iodide → Silver iodide + Potassium nitrate

Type of Chemical Reaction: This is a double replacement reaction.

Word Equation: Silver nitrate + Potassium iodide → Silver iodide + Potassium nitrate

Balancing Strategies: This is an easy equation to balance if you count up the atoms on each side of the equation accurately.

Hint-2

For a complete explanation, watch:

When balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.

Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.
