Ag + HCl = AgCl + H2

Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution

This reaction does not occur under the normal conditions, because H2 is more reactive than Ag. The reaction should go in the reverse:

2 Ag + 2 HCl 2 AgCl + H2

The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
