Question

PLEASE HELP Describe the chemical reaction based on the chemical equation below. Also, explain whether the equation is balanced. NH3(g)+O2(g) -> (Pt over the arrow) NO(g)+H2O(l)

Answer 1

Chemical equation: NH₃(g) + O₂(g) → NO(g) + H₂O(l).

Oxidation reaction: N⁻³ → N⁺² + 5e⁻ /×4.

Reduction reaction: O₂⁰ + 4e⁻ → 2O⁻² /×5.

Oxidation reaction: 4N⁻³ → 4N⁺² + 20e⁻.

Reduction reaction: 5O₂⁰ + 20e⁻ → 10O⁻² /×5.

Balanced chemical equation: 4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(l).

Ammonia (NH₃) reacts with oxygen (O₂) and form nitrogen(II) oxide (NO) and water (H₂O). Catalyst is this reaction is platinum (Pt).

This is combustion reaction.
