Determine whether the statement is true or false.
The picture chemical reaction is balanced:
1n2 + 3h2->2nh3
False. The chemical reaction given is not balanced.
To determine whether the given chemical reaction is balanced or not, we need to ensure that the number of each type of atom is equal on both sides of the equation.
The given chemical reaction is:
1n2 + 3h2 -> 2nh3
Let's count the number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation:
On the reactant side:
1n2 -> there are 2 nitrogen (N) atoms
3h2 -> there are 6 hydrogen (H) atoms
On the product side:
2nh3 -> there are 2 nitrogen (N) atoms and 6 hydrogen (H) atoms
Comparing both sides, we can see that the number of atoms in each type is equal on both sides. Therefore, the given chemical reaction is balanced.
Hence, the statement is true.
To determine whether a chemical reaction is balanced, we need to compare the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction.
The given reaction is: 1N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
Let's count the number of atoms for each element on both sides:
On the left side (reactants):
- Nitrogen (N): 1 atom
- Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms (3 atoms in each H2 molecule)
On the right side (products):
- Nitrogen (N): 2 atoms
- Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms (3 atoms in each NH3 molecule)
Comparing the number of atoms, we can see that the number of nitrogen atoms is the same on both sides (1N on the left, 2N on the right). However, the number of hydrogen atoms is different (6H on both sides). Therefore, the given chemical reaction is not balanced.
To balance it, we need to adjust the coefficients in front of the molecules to ensure the same number of atoms for each element on both sides of the reaction.
