When the following equation is balanced with lowest whole-number coefficients, what is the coefficient for NO(g)? ___NH3(g) + __
inn [45]

Answer:

Coefficient in front of the NO in the balanced equation - 4

Explanation:

The unbalanced reaction is shown below as:-

NH_3+O_2\rightarrow NO+H_2O

On the left hand side,  

There are 1 nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms

On the right hand side,  

There are 1 nitrogen atom and 2 hydrogen atoms and 2 oxygen atoms

Thus,  

Right side, H_2O must be multiplied by 6 and NO by 4

Left side, O_2 is multiplied by 5 and NH_3 by 4 so to balance the whole reaction.

Thus, the balanced reaction is:-

4NH_3+5O_2\rightarrow 4NO+6H_2O

<u>Coefficient in front of the NO in the balanced equation - 4</u>
