Enter the correct coefficients in each blank to make this equation balanced. (Enter a 1 if it should be blank) Li +  Sn(SO4) →  Li2(SO4​​​​​​​) +  Sn

To balance the equation, we need to ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

The equation is: Li + Sn(SO4) → Li2(SO4) + Sn

Step 1: Balance the lithium (Li) atoms. There are 2 Li atoms on the right side of the equation in Li2(SO4), so we need 2 Li atoms on the left side. We add a coefficient of 2 in front of Li:

2Li + Sn(SO4) → Li2(SO4) + Sn

Step 2: Balance the tin (Sn) atoms. There is 1 Sn atom on both sides of the equation, so the Sn atoms are already balanced.

Step 3: Balance the sulfate (SO4) ions. There is 1 SO4 ion on both sides of the equation, so the SO4 ions are already balanced.

So, the balanced equation is:

2Li + Sn(SO4) → Li2(SO4) + Sn
