<p>You are correct and your teacher is incorrect. All the atoms and charges are balanced. I triple-checked:) did your teacher say why you’re supposed to double all of it?</p>
<p>We did an equation very similar to this(had the dichromate ion) last night at our Net-Ionic Night study session(100% of the class and the teacher was there) and I’m sure that’s the correct answer. Doubling them all is incorrect, that’s like saying 2H+ + 2OH- –> 2H20 is correct.</p>
