How do you balance this equation?:

(NH4)2SO4+Ca(OH)2==>CaSO4+NH3+H20

Thanks!

2 NH3
2H2O
Others are ones.

(NH)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 --> CaSO4+2NH3+2H2O

Thanks!

To balance the given chemical equation:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + NH3 + H2O

1. Count the number of atoms for each element on both sides of the equation.

On the left side:
- Nitrogen (N): 2
- Hydrogen (H): 8
- Sulfur (S): 1
- Oxygen (O): 5
- Calcium (Ca): 1

On the right side:
- Nitrogen (N): 1
- Hydrogen (H): 3
- Sulfur (S): 1
- Oxygen (O): 4
- Calcium (Ca): 1

2. Start by balancing the elements that appear in the fewest compounds first. In this case, we start with sulfur (S) and calcium (Ca).

The sulfur (S) is already balanced, so we move on to calcium (Ca). The coefficient in front of Ca(OH)2 should be 1 for both sides.

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + NH3 + H2O

3. Now, let's balance nitrogen (N). We have 2 nitrogen atoms on the left side and only 1 on the right side. To balance nitrogen, we place a coefficient of 2 in front of NH3 on the right side.

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 2NH3 + H2O

4. Next, let's balance hydrogen (H). There are 8 hydrogen atoms on the left side and only 3 on the right side. To balance hydrogen, we place a coefficient of 4 in front of H2O on the right side.

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 2NH3 + 4H2O

5. Finally, let's balance oxygen (O). There are 5 oxygen atoms on the left side and 4 on the right side. To balance oxygen, we place a coefficient of 2 in front of CaSO4 on the right side.

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → 2CaSO4 + 2NH3 + 4H2O

Now the equation is balanced, with an equal number of atoms for each element on both sides. The balanced equation is:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → 2CaSO4 + 2NH3 + 4H2O

To balance the given equation:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + NH3 + H2O

1. Start by balancing the atoms other than hydrogen and oxygen. In this case, we have calcium (Ca) and sulfur (S). The equation becomes:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + NH3 + H2O

2. Next, balance the hydrogen (H) atoms. There are a total of 4 on the left side and 6 on the right side. To balance them, place a coefficient of 3 in front of the NH3 on the right side:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 3NH3 + H2O

3. Now, balance the oxygen (O) atoms. There are a total of 4 on the left side and 4 on the right side. The equation is now:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 3NH3 + H2O

The balanced equation is:

(NH4)2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 → CaSO4 + 3NH3 + H2O
