Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

In balance equation, reactant and product will have same number of coefficient. Chemical reactions can be explained in a precise way through chemical equations.

The given reaction is

MgCl2(aq)+AgNO3(aq)Mg(NO3)2(aq)+AgCl(s)

Here, in reaction, all atoms are balanced except NO3 and Cl .

The balance Cl on the product side by multiplying AgCl with 2.

MgCl2(aq)+AgNO3(aq)Mg(NO3)2(aq)+2AgCl(s)

So, Cl is balanced on both the reactant and product side.

Now, balance Ag and NO3 on reactant side by multiplying AgNO3 with 2,

MgCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)Mg(NO3)2(aq)+2AgCl(s)

Thus, the balance reactant is,

MgCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)Mg(NO3)2(aq)+2AgCl(s)

Conclusion:

Hence, the balanced equation is MgCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)Mg(NO3)2(aq)+2AgCl(s) .
