Answer:
1Al₄C₃ + 12H₂O → 3CH₄ + 4Al(OH)₃
Explanation:
SOLUTION :-
Balance it by using 'hit & trial' method , and you'll get the answer :-
1Al₄C₃ + 12H₂O → 3CH₄ + 4Al(OH)₃
VERIFICATION :-
In reactant side of equation :-
- Number of atoms in Al = 1×4 = 4
- Number of atoms in C = 1×3 = 3
- Number of atoms in H = 12×2 = 24
- Number of atoms in O = 12×1 = 12
In product side of equation :-
- Number of atoms in C = 3×1 = 3
- Number of atoms in H = (3×4) + 4(1×3) = 24
- Number of atoms in Al = 4×1 = 4
- Number of atoms in O = 4(1×3) = 12
Number of atoms of each element is equal in both reactant & product side of equation. Hence , the equation is balanced.
