Question

hen the following molecular equation is balanced using the smallest possible integer coefficients, the values of these coefficients are: nitrogen monoxide (g) oxygen (g) nitrogen dioxide (

Answer 1

When an unbalanced chemical reaction is given and we are told to find the balanced chemical reaction by using the smallest possible integer coefficient .

we should balance the reaction normally and, if there is a fractional coefficient, we multiply the entire reaction to make it the smallest possible integer.

A chemical process neither creates nor destroys atoms. The atoms are simply rearranged through the formation and dissolution of chemical bonds. As a result, the number of atoms must stay constant.

Given:

____ ammonia(g) + _____ oxygen(g) → _____ nitrogen monoxide (g) + _____ water(g)

To balance the reaction, we will balance the hydrogen atoms firstly.

$2NH3(g)+O2(g)→NO(g)+3H2O(g)$

Now we will balance the nitrogen atoms.

$2NH3(g)+O2(g)→2NO(g)+3H2O(g)$

Now we will balance oxygen atoms.

$2NH3(g)+52O2(g)→2NO(g)+3H2O(g)$

To get all coefficient as integer, we must multiply the complete reaction by 2.

$4NH3(g)+5O2(g)→4NO(g)+6H2O(g)$
