I thought it worked out to LiBr + Hg2 (NO3)2 --> Li(NO3)2 + BrHg2. But that doesn't work.

You'll have to forgive me if this is all wrong, it has been over 30 years since I took Chem. Isn't Li a +1; Br a -1; Hg a +2; NO3 a -2;, if so the proper equation would be -> Li2 (NO3) + Hg Br2. To Balance them, It would come out like this. 4Li Br + Hg2 (NO3)2 -> 2Li2 (NO3) + 2Hg Br2 I hope that this is right, or else I've really overtaxed my brain for nothing. It is really hard going back that far.
