I need help with the conversation of mass with this equation NiCl2 + 2NaOH = Ni(OH)2 + 2NaCl

When I did the number of atoms, they weren't balanced... So what do I do?

This is a precipitation reaction: Ni(OH)2 is the formed precipitate.

Reactants:

NaOH

Search by reactants (NaOH, NiCl2)

1NaOH + NiCl2 → NaCl + Ni(OH)2

2NaOH + Br2 + NiCl2 → NaCl + NaBr + Ni(OH)3

Search by products (NaCl, Ni(OH)2)

1NaOH + NiCl2 → NaCl + Ni(OH)2

Search by reactants (NaOH, NiCl2) and by products (NaCl, Ni(OH)2)

1NaOH + NiCl2 → NaCl + Ni(OH)2

Explanation:

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."

the correct answer is:

a. formation of precipitation
