Answer:

4 NH₃ (g) + 3 O₂ (g) ----> 2 N₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g) + energy

Explanation:

The unbalanced equation:

NH₃ (g) + O₂ (g) ----> N₂ (g) + H₂O (g) + energy

<u>Reactants:</u> 1 nitrogen, 3 hydrogen, 2 oxygen

<u>Products:</u> 2 nitrogen, 2 hydrogen, 1 oxygen

The sort-of balanced equation

2 NH₃ (g) + 1/2 O₂ (g) ----> N₂ (g) + 3 H₂O (g) + energy

I first started by balancing the nitrogens. This then lead me to balance the hydrogens. When I went to balance the oxygens, only a 1/2 coefficient would work. However, 1/2 coefficients are technically incorrect. To get rid of this coefficient, you need to multiply each coefficient by 2.

The balanced equation:

4 NH₃ (g) + 3 O₂ (g) ----> 2 N₂ (g) + 6 H₂O (g) + energy

<u>Reactants:</u> 4 nitrogen, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen

<u>Products:</u> 4 nitrogen, 12 hydrogen, 6 oxygen

Now, all of the elements are equal on both sides and there are no 1/2 coefficients. These are the smallest whole-number coefficients because some of the numbers cannot be further simplified (3).

Which compound has the same empirical and molecular formula ethyne ethene ethane methane?
Margaret [11]
Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of components in a compound 
molecular formula is the actual ratio of components in a compound .
the molecular formula for the compounds given are as follows
ethyne  - C₂H₂
ethene - C₂H₄
ethane - C₂H₆
methane - CH₄
the actual ratios of the elements                 simplified ratio
                     C : H                                           C : H
ethyne            2:2                                             1:1
ethene            2:4                                             1:2
ethane            2:6                                             1:3
methane         1:4                                             1:4
the only compound where the actual ratio is equal to the simplified ratio is methane 
therefore in methane molecular formula CH₄ is the same as empirical formula CH₄
