Question

If you rewrite the following word equation as a balanced chemical equation, what will the coefficient and symbol for fluorine be?
nitrogen trifluoride → nitrogen + fluorine​

Answer 1

Answer:

HOPE IT WILL BE HELPFUL TO YOU.

Explanation:

The given word equation is:

Nitrogen trifluoride-->Nitrogen + Fluorine

The chemical formula of nitrogen trifluoride is NF_{3}NF3 and that of nitrogen gas is N_{2}N2 and fluorine gas is F_{2}F2 .

The balanced chemical equation representing the decomposition reaction of nitrogen trifluoride to nitrogen and fluorine will be,

2NF_{3}-- > N_{2}+3F_{2}2NF3−−>N2+3F2

The chemical formula of fluorine gas will be F_{2}F2 as fluorine exists as a diatomic gas in it's pure state. The coefficient of fluorine will be 3

Therefore, the correct answer is 3F2.
