What is the sum of the coefficients when the following equation is balanced using the lowest whole-numbered coefficients? ________ B₂O₃(s)+ ________ HF(l)→ ________ BF₃(g)+ ________ H₂O(l) A)8 B)11 C)15 D)none of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The given equation is a chemical reaction that needs to be balanced. The equation involves elements with subscripts indicating their isotopic composition, which is not standard for balancing chemical equations. The sum of coefficients in a balanced chemical equation depends on the stoichiometry, which cannot be determined from the given isotopic notation without a clear chemical formula. Therefore, the correct answer is "none of these" because the question does not provide a standard chemical equation to balance.
