To balance the chemical equation for the reaction between magnesium nitrate \((\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2)\) and sulfuric acid \((\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4)\) to produce magnesium sulfate \((\text{MgSO}_4)\) and nitric acid \((\text{HNO}_3)\), we need to first write the unbalanced equation:
\[
\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{MgSO}_4 + \text{HNO}_3
\]
Now, let's balance the equation:
1. On the left side, we have 1 magnesium (Mg), 2 nitrate (NO3) groups, and 1 sulfate (SO4) group plus 2 hydrogen (H) from sulfuric acid.
2. On the right side, we have 1 magnesium in magnesium sulfate and 2 nitric acid molecules (to balance the 2 nitrate groups).
Thus, the balanced equation is:
\[
\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{MgSO}_4 + 2\text{HNO}_3
\]
This shows that one mole of magnesium nitrate reacts with one mole of sulfuric acid to produce one mole of magnesium sulfate and two moles of nitric acid, keeping all elements balanced.
\[
\text{Mg(NO}_3\text{)}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{MgSO}_4 + \text{HNO}_3
\]
Now, let's balance the equation:

2. On the right side, we have 1 magnesium in magnesium sulfate and 2 nitric acid molecules (to balance the 2 nitrate groups).
Thus, the balanced equation is:
