Question

How to balance a chemical reaction between oxygen and ammonia?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Ammonia gas reacts with molecular oxygen gas to form nitrogen monoxide gas and liquid water. Write the complete balanced reaction with all proper state symbols.

Solution:

Let us first write the chemical formulas.

NH_{3(g)}+O_{2(g)}\rightarrow NO_{(g)}+H_2O_{(l)}NH  

3(g)

​  

+O  

2(g)

​  

→NO  

(g)

​  

+H  

2

​  

O  

(l)

​  

 

Let us now balance this equation:

4NH_{3(g)}+5O_{2(g)}\rightarrow 4NO_{(g)}+6H_2O_{(l)}4NH  

3(g)

​  

+5O  

2(g)

​  

→4NO  

(g)

​  

+6H  

2

​  

O  

(l)
