NH4NO2(s) → N2(g) + 2H20(l)
Is is not balanced or balanced
wrong. there are 2N, 4H, 2O on each side.
Apologies for the previous response. You are correct. The equation:
NH4NO2(s) → N2(g) + 2H2O(l)
is balanced. Both sides of the equation have 2 nitrogen atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 2 oxygen atoms.
The given chemical equation, NH4NO2(s) → N2(g) + 2H20(l), is not balanced. This can be determined by checking if the number of atoms on both sides of the equation is equal.
On the left side, we have:
- 1 nitrogen (N) atom
- 4 hydrogen (H) atoms
- 2 oxygen (O) atoms
On the right side, we have:
- 2 nitrogen (N) atoms
- 4 hydrogen (H) atoms
- 4 oxygen (O) atoms
Since the number of atoms of each element is not the same on both sides, the equation is unbalanced.
To determine if the given chemical equation NH4NO2(s) → N2(g) + 2H2O(l) is balanced or not, we need to count the number of each type of atoms on both sides of the equation.
On the left side of the equation, we have:
1 nitrogen (N)
6 hydrogen (H)
3 oxygen (O)
On the right side of the equation, we have:
2 nitrogen (N)
4 hydrogen (H)
2 oxygen (O)
Now, let's check if the number of atoms is equal on both sides:
Nitrogen (N):
On the left side, we have 1 nitrogen atom.
On the right side, we have 2 nitrogen atoms.
Hydrogen (H):
On the left side, we have 6 hydrogen atoms.
On the right side, we have 4 hydrogen atoms.
Oxygen (O):
On the left side, we have 3 oxygen atoms.
On the right side, we have 2 oxygen atoms.
Since the number of atoms is not equal on both sides, the given chemical equation NH4NO2(s) → N2(g) + 2H2O(l) is NOT balanced. To balance the equation, we need to adjust the coefficients in front of the formulae.
The balanced equation is:
NH4NO2(s) → N2(g) + 4H2O(l)
