balanced equations?


I need to know how Nickel acetate and a solution of saturated sodium hyposulfite and aqueous Pd react to precipitate Nickel? and what is the balanced equation?

Hmm lets count the ways:


1) Wrong area
2) You want to be spoon fed
3) You register today and quickly post a help me thread without even trying to read the rules or look around to understand how things work around here.

I bet this thread will be locked shortly.

I haven\'t failed, I\'ve found 683 ways that don\'t work. -- Me.

I won't give you any spoon-fed answers, but I'll give you a "strategy" to balancing equations.

In the equation, find the largest compound and assign it a coefficient of 1...for the timebeing, assume there is just one of them. Then, balance the other chemicals according to that. If you get fractions for some, then multiply by the denominator until the whole equation contains only whole numbers.

This is the easy way to balancing equations, and I'm sure it's what most people use...but surprisingly, my general chem teacher never really mentioned this strategy (although she was an excellent teacher, no less).

If there's one thing I hate is spoonfeeding.

BUT, since I'm in a good mood today, you'll get off with a warning and an open thread.
