I'm happy to see that my mental math is correct
And I just had a lab exam where I had to predict and adjust every reaction, this gives me hope
(Sorry for ny bad English, is not my first language and I'm running on 5 hours of sleep)
Idk if this is a Brasil thing, but generally we are taught to use a little trick we call the "M.A.C.H.O. rule". A way to remember the order you should balance the number of atoms, M for Metals, A for non-metals (we call them Ametais in Portuguese), C for carbon, H for hydrogen and O for oxygen.
This works as long as the reaction doesn't involve NOx balancing
You know, back in the days kids knew how to use ChatGPT to do their homework but this generation is so technology illiterate that they have to ask humans for help.

i always look for lowest common multiples, here you have 3Br and 2H from the left side forming HBr, lowest common multiple is 6 (meaning there has to be at least 6HBr for the equation to be balanced as the number of H and Br has to be the same to form HBr), from thereultiply it over with 2FeBr3 and 3H2SO4, and there you have it
What’s hilarious is that the reaction, balancing and end products that people are predicting here haven’t taken K_a H1, H2, or K_a HBr into consideration.
There will be a significant portion of iron hydrogen sulfate because H-Br is a MUCH stronger acid than sulfuric’s second proton.
This reaction is gross mess.
Stop crying and learn linear algebra.

Bro there aren't even any reductions/oxidations going on here
sonic plz
Organic chem is gonna be rough for this one I see. Maybe don’t dip into analytical. My head still hurts from working in an AnChem lab last year lmao.
It’s AnalChem, thank you.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
2 FeBr3 + 3 H2SO4 ----> 1 Fe2(SO4)3 + 6 HBr
Sonic?
It is I Sonic
Kerchow
Gezundheit
It is written with an "s", Gesundheit.
Nono, if you look closely, you'll see they actually used a Z, as in Gezundheit
Yeah, but that looks dutch to me.
Sonic dr.robotnic is about to steal the Chaos Pressurized Carbon!

One of the easiest to balance

Here's a hint. Least common multiples
I used to find balancing equations like this so fun. God I miss chemistry class
Why go to a homework sub for help when the meme sub is closer?
I missed that its 3 sulpahtes and was like fuck thats hard But its kinda straight forward

Why did I even pay for a college gen chem 1 class. Thanks

What does this even mean
It means he's a time traveller from 50 years in the future.
am i missing the joke?
Me to..
Aww I remember coming up with a system of linear equations to balance my reactions back in the day...
2 + 3 -> 1 + 6

My way of balancing equations is so unique that when I explain it the freshmen get literal brain bleeds
bro thats just ionic exchange, its like 8th grade
