the equation n2+3h2 2nh3
You didn't post a question. When you do don't forget to use the caps key and arrows.
The equation you provided is not balanced and it appears to be a chemical equation for a reaction involving the compounds n2, h2, and nh3. The equation represents the reaction between nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2) to produce ammonia gas (NH3).
To balance an equation like this, you need to make sure that there is an equal number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation. Here's how you can balance this equation:
1. First, count the number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation:
On the left side of the equation (reactant side), we have:
- Nitrogen (N): 1 atom (because n2 implies 2 nitrogen atoms)
- Hydrogen (H): 2 atoms (because h2 implies 2 hydrogen atoms)
On the right side of the equation (product side), we have:
- Nitrogen (N): 1 atom (because nh3 implies 1 nitrogen atom)
- Hydrogen (H): 3 atoms (because nh3 implies 3 hydrogen atoms)
2. To achieve balance, we need to increase the number of nitrogen atoms and decrease the number of hydrogen atoms on the reactant side. We can start by setting the number of nitrogen atoms to 2 on the reactant side, by multiplying the n2 compound by 2.
So, the balanced equation becomes: 2n2 + 3h2 -> 2nh3
Now we have:
On the left side (reactants):
- Nitrogen (N): 4 atoms (2 x 2)
- Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms (3 x 2)
On the right side (products):
- Nitrogen (N): 2 atoms
- Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms
Now the equation is balanced, with an equal number of atoms on both sides of the equation.
