Question

Balance the equation, As2S3 + NO3- ----> AsO4^-3 + NO + S ( in acidic medium)

Answer 1

3As2S3+12NO3--->2(AsO4)3+12NO+9S

Answer 2

Hey dear,

● Answer -
As2S3 + 4NO3- --> 2(AsO4)3- + 4NO + 3S

● Explaination -
To balance any chemical reaction, you need to equalize no of species present on both sides.

As2S3 + 4NO3- --> 2(AsO4)3- + 4NO + 3S

Here, this equation is balanced as both sides have same no of As, S, N, O & H.


Hope this helps you.
