Question

When the following equation is balanced, the coefficient of water is_______ NO2 + H2O --> HNO3 + NO

Answer 1

Answer:

Coefficient of water is 1

Explanation:

The balanced equation;

3NO2 + H2O --> 2HNO3 + NO

;Firstly balance the hydrogen atoms

;Then balance the nitrogen atoms....in which this would also balance the oxygen atoms

Answer 2

When the following equation is balanced, the coefficient of water is 1  

NO2 + H2O --> HNO3 + NO .

What do you mean by the balanced equation ?

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products.

In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

The  above definition can  be understood  by the following balanced  chemical equation –

Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2

The balanced equation for the above given reaction will be -

3NO2 + H2O --> 2HNO3 + NO

Therefore the coefficient of water will be   1   for the given reaction

NO2 + H2O --> HNO3 + NO .
