Question

Describe the chemical reaction based on the chemical equation below. Also, explain whether the equation is balanced.

Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical equation: NH₃(g) + O₂(g) → NO(g) + H₂O(l).

Oxidation reaction: N⁻³ → N⁺² + 5e⁻ /×4.

Reduction reaction: O₂⁰ + 4e⁻ → 2O⁻² /×5.

Oxidation reaction: 4N⁻³ → 4N⁺² + 20e⁻.

Reduction reaction: 5O₂⁰ + 20e⁻ → 10O⁻² /×5.

Balanced chemical equation: 4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(l).

Ammonia (NH₃) reacts with oxygen (O₂) and form nitrogen(II) oxide (NO) and water (H₂O). Catalyst is this reaction is platinum (Pt).

This is combustion reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ammonia gas reacts with oxygen gas.

Nitric oxide gas and liquid water are produced.

Platinum is used as a catalyst.

The equation is unbalanced because the number of hydrogen atoms is not the same on both sides of the equation.
