    The balanced equation is Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg (NO₃) ₂ + 2Ag

    Step 1. Write the unbalanced equation

    Mg + AgNO₃ ⟶ Mg (NO₃) ₂ + Ag

    Step 2. Start with the most complicated-looking formula [Mg (NO₃) ₂] and balance its atoms.

    Mg: Already balanced - 1 atom each side.

    N: We need 2 N on the left. Put a 2 in front of AgNO₃.

    1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg (NO₃) ₂ + Ag

    O: Already balanced - 6 atom6 each side.

    Step 3: Balance Ag

    We have 2Ag on the left. We need 2Ag on the right.

    1Mg + 2AgNO₃ ⟶ 1Mg (NO₃) ₂ + 2Ag
