Is this equation balanced and in the lowest form? 4NH3 → 2N2 + 6H2 Yes, because there are equal amounts of atoms of each element

on both sides. No, because the coefficients could be reduced to 2,1, and 3. Yes, because the coefficients are in their lowest whole number ratio. No, because the coefficients could be reduced to 2, 2, and 4.

It is Balanced but not in its lowest form.
This is because the coefficients could have been reduced to 2,1&3.

Answer: The given equation is not balanced in its lowest form because the coefficients could be reduced to 2, 1 and 3.

Explanation: We are given a equation but it is not balanced in its lowest form, so to reduce it into its lowest form, we divide the whole equation by 2.

The equation becomes:

$2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2$

The coefficients for the equation are 2, 1 and 3.
