Question

NH4NO2(s)→N2(g)+H2O(l) ---------------- Express your answer as a chemical equation. Identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The balanced equation is :

NH4NO2(solid) = N2(gas) + 2 H2O(liquid)

Explanation:

A balanced chemical equation is an equation that has an equal number of atoms and charges on both sides of the equation. The given equation in question is imbalanced as the number of atoms not equal.

In this reaction, solid ammonium nitrite breaks into nitrogen gas and water, reaction known as decomposition.

The correct and balanced equation as follows :

NH4NO2(s) = N2(g) + 2 H2O(l)
