Question

Examine the reaction. NH4OH(aq) →H2O(l) + NH3(g)
What coefficients will balance the equation?
A) 1, 1, 1
B) 3, 3, 4
C) 2, 1, 2
D) 1, 2, 2

Answer 1

Answer:  A.  1,1,1

Explanation:

The coefficients that will balance the equation; NH4OH(aq) →H2O(l) + NH3(g), is 1, 1, 1, because it proves the total number of atoms of each element on the LHS and RHS of the equation are equal, hence balanced.

LHS          RHS

N = 1            1

H = 5          5

O = 1            1
