I need help in balancing equation for NO2 + O2 -> NO + O3
Please help...
it is balanced
for the reactants you have N=1 & O=4.
for the products you have N=1 & O=4.
I need help in balancing equation for NO2 + O2 -> NO + O3
Please help it may look balance but it is not. This is a tricky one.
what is it that you are looking for specifically? Try asking for "drwls"...he may be able to help with this one.
Sure! Balancing chemical equations can be done by following a step-by-step process.
Step 1: Write down the unbalanced equation.
NO2 + O2 -> NO + O3
Step 2: Count the number of atoms on both sides of the equation.
On the left side, we have:
1 Nitrogen (N)
3 Oxygen (O)
On the right side, we have:
1 Nitrogen (N)
4 Oxygen (O)
Step 3: Start by balancing the elements that appear in the fewest molecules first. In this case, we'll start with Nitrogen (N).
Since there is already one Nitrogen (N) atom on each side of the equation, Nitrogen is balanced.
Step 4: Next, let's balance the Oxygen (O) atoms.
On the left side, we have:
3 Oxygen (O)
On the right side, we have:
4 Oxygen (O)
To balance the Oxygen, we need to add a coefficient in front of the compound(s) that contain Oxygen. In this case, we can balance it by adding a coefficient of 2 in front of NO2.
2 NO2 + O2 -> NO + O3
Now, counting the Oxygen atoms again:
On the left side, we have:
4 Oxygen (O)
On the right side, we have:
4 Oxygen (O)
All the atoms are now balanced, and the balanced equation is:
2 NO2 + O2 -> 2 NO + O3
