Question

When the following equation is balanced with the lowest whole number coefficients possible, what is the coefficient in front of HNO3? (3 points)

N2O5 + H2O -> HNO3

Answer 1

the balanced equation will be...

N2O5 + H2O = 2 HNO3

hope this will help uh ...

Answer 2

Explanation:

The given chemical equation is as follows.

     $N_{2}O_{5} + H_{2}O \rightarrow HNO_{3}$

Number of elements on reactant side are as follows.

• N = 2
• O = 6
• H = 2

Number of elements on product side are as follows.

• H = 1
• N = 1
• O = 3

To balance the equation, we multiply $HNO_{3}$ by 2 on the product side. Thus, the balanced chemical equation will be as follows.

      $N_{2}O_{5} + H_{2}O \rightarrow 2HNO_{3}$
