Question

Balance the equation:
NH4OH + HNO3 = NH4NO3+ H2O​

Answer 1

Answer:

2NH4OH+2HNO3=2NH4NO3+2H2O

Answer 2

Answer:

Balanced equation for the reaction can be written as:

$NH_{4} OH$ + $HNO_{3}$ → $NH_{4} NO_{3}$ + $H_{2} O$

Explanation:

Here ammonium hydroxide reacts with nitric acid to produce ammonium nitrate and water. The reactants are ammonium hydroxide($NH_{4} OH$) and nitric acid($HNO_{3}$). The products are ammonium nitrate($NH_{4} NO_{3}$) and water  ($H_{2} O$). The chemical equation for the reaction can be written as:

$NH_{4} OH$ + $HNO_{3}$ → $NH_{4} NO_{3}$ + $H_{2} O$

On the LHS we have:

• 2 N
• 6 H
• 4 O

On the RHS we have:

• 2 N
• 6 H
• 4 O

The number of atoms on the LHS is equal to the number of atoms on the RHS. Therefore the equation is balanced.
