Answer 1

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is given as:

$2NH_4NO_3\rightarrow 2N_2+O_2+4H_2O$

Explanation:

$NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2+O_2+H_2O$

During the balancing of the chemical reaction, balance all the atoms of every atoms except oxygen element.

There are 2 nitrogen atoms on both sides. Nitrogen atom is balanced.

There are 4 hydrogen atoms on left side and 2 hydrogen atom on right side.Write 2 in front of $H_2O$ to balance the hydrogen atoms.

$NH_4NO_3\rightarrow N_2+O_2+2H_2O$

Now ,see the number of oxygen atoms on both sides. Here on both sides oxygen atoms oxygen atom are same.

So, write 2 in front of $NH_4NO_3$ , 2 in front of $N_2$ and 4 in front of $H_2O$.

$2NH_4NO_3\rightarrow 2N_2+O_2+4H_2O$

All the atoms of all each and every element is balanced in the chemical equation.
