Answer:
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
4 Zn0 - 8 e- → 4 ZnII
(oxidation)
NV + 8 e- → N-III
(reduction)
Zn is a reducing agent, NaNO3 is an oxidizing agent.

Zn + 3NaNO3 + 6NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 6NH3 + H2O
Zn+NaNo3 NaOH =Na2Zno2+NH3+H2O balance chemical equation by oxidation number is Zn + 3NaNO3 + 6NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 6NH3 + H2O.
- We must first ascertain the oxidation statuses of each component in the reaction to balance the chemical equation using oxidation numbers:
Zn + NaNO3 + NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + NH3 + H2O
Zn: 0
Na: +1
N: +5
O: -2
H: +1
- Using these oxidation states, we can see that the following changes occur:
Zn is oxidized from 0 to +2
N is reduced from +5 to -3
O is reduced from -2 to -1
- To balance the equation, we can follow these steps:
- Balance the zinc atoms by adding a coefficient of 1 to Zn and 1 to Na2ZnO2:
- Zn + NaNO3 + NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + NH3 + H2O
- Balance the nitrogen atoms by adding a coefficient of 6 to NH3:
- Zn + NaNO3 + NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 6NH3 + H2O
- Balance the hydrogen atoms by adding a coefficient of 6 to NaOH:
- Zn + NaNO3 + 6NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 6NH3 + H2O
- Balance the oxygen atoms by adding a coefficient of 3 to NaNO3 and 1 to H2O:
- Zn + 3NaNO3 + 6NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 6NH3 + H2O
- The final balanced chemical equation by oxidation number is:
- Zn + 3NaNO3 + 6NaOH → Na2ZnO2 + 6NH3 + H2O
