Answer:
The balanced equation is: 4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(I)
4 moles of ammonia need 5 moles of oxygen to react, in order to produce 6 moles of water and 4 moles of nitrogen oxide.
Explanation:
NH₃(g) + O₂(g) → NO(g) + H₂O(I)
That is the unbalanced equation.
Ratio is 1:1, so 1 mol of ammonia and 1 mol of oxygen may react to produce 1 mol of NO and 1 mol of water
First of all we need to balance. Let's count the atoms:
In reagent side, we have 3 H and in product side there are 2H, we can add a 3, so now we have 6 H. Therefore, the reagent side must have 2 in front of the ammonia. In both sides we have 6 H
Now, that we added a 2 in the ammonia, we have 2N, so we have to add 2 to NO in the product side.
Let's count the oxygen in the product side, 5. We must add 5/2 in the reactant side. But chemical equations usually do not have rational numbers, that's why we multiply x2, all the stoichiometry.
The balanced equation is: 4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(I)
4 moles of ammonia need 5 moles of oxygen to react, in order to produce 6 moles of water and 4 moles of nitrogen oxide.
Answer:
4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(I)
We need 4 moles of ammonia gas (NH3) and 5 moles of oxygen gas( O2) to produce 4 moles of nitromonoxide gas (NO) and 6 moles of water (H2O)
Explanation:
Step 1: The unabalnced equation
NH3(g) + O2(g)→ NO(g) + H2O(I)
Step 2: Balancing the equation
NH3(g) + O2(g) → NO(g) + H2O(I)
On the left side we have 3x H (in NH3), on the right side we have 2x H (in H2O)
To balance the amount of H, on both sides, we have to multiply NH3 by 4 and H2O by 6
4NH3(g) + O2(g) → NO(g) + 6H2O(I)
We have 4x N on the left side (in 4NH3) and 1x N in NO on the right side. To balance the amount of N on both sides, we have to multiply NO on the right side by 4
4NH3(g) + O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(I)
On the left side we have 2x O (in O2, on the right side we have 10x O (4x in 4NO and 6x in 6H2O). To balance the amount of O we have to multply O2 by 5. Now the equation is balanced.
4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H2O(I)
Step 3: Explanation
This means we need 4 moles of ammonia gas (NH3) and 5 moles of oxygen gas( O2) to produce 4 moles of nitromonoxide gas (NO) and 6 moles of water (H2O)
