Marie curie was awarded the Noble prize in chemistry for her discoveries and studies of elements radium and polonium. She is the only women who is awarded the Noble prize twice.

She made her first research into the treatment of tumors with radiation and founded a Curie institutes, that are important medical research centers.

When NH3(g) reacts with N2O(g) to form N2(g) and H2O(g), 105 kcal of energy are evolved for each mole of NH3(g) that reacts. Wri

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

$2NH_3(g)+3N_2O(g)\rightarrow 4N_2(g)+3H_2O(g)+210kcal$

Explanation :

Balanced chemical equation : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms of individual elements present on product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,

$NH_3(g)+N_2O(g)\rightarrow N_2(g)+H_2O(g)+105kcal$

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of individual elements are not balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the $NH_3$ , the coefficient 3 is put before the $N_2O\text{ and }H_2O$ and the coefficient 4 is put before the $N_2$ .
