Question

balance the chemical equation NH3+cl2=N2+NH4cl

Answer 1

8NH3 + 3Cl2------ >N2 + 6NH4Cl

Answer 2

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation always follow law of conservation of mass.

This law states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form. This also means that total number of individual atoms on reactant side must be equal to the total number of individual atoms on the product side.

For the given chemical reaction:

$8NH_3+3Cl_2\rightarrow N_2+6NH_4Cl$

On reactant side:

Number of nitrogen atoms = 8

Number of hydrogen atoms = 24

Number of chlorine atoms = 6

On product side:

Number of nitrogen atoms = 8

Number of hydrogen atoms = 24

Number of chlorine atoms = 6

Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
