Question

Balance this reaction if necessary
Answer is C

NH3 + CO2 + H2O → NH4HCO3

Answer 1

This reaction is already balanced.

           $NH_{3} + CO_{2} + H_{2} O --> NH_{4} HCO_{3}$

Explanation:

Balanced chemical reaction :

It is defined as the chemical reaction in which the number of individual atoms of an element in the reactant side always be equal to the number of individual atoms of an element in the product side.

The given balanced reaction will be,

        $NH_{3} + CO_{2} + H_{2} O --> NH_{4} HCO_{3}$

By this equation, we can say that,

1 mole of  $NH_{3}$  +  mole of $CO_{2}$  + 1 mole of $H_{2}O$  combines to give 1 mole of $NH_{4}HCO_{3}$ as a product.
