<u>Answer:</u> The balanced molecular equation is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A molecular equation is defined as the chemical equation in which the ionic compounds are written as molecules rather than component ions.
When zinc (II) nitrate reacts with sodium hydroxide, it leads to the formation of white precipitate of zinc (II) hydroxide and an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate.
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of aqueous solution of zinc (II) nitrate reacts with 1 mole of aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of solid zinc hydroxide and 2 moles of aqueous solution of sodium nitrate
Hence, the balanced molecular equation is written above.

Explanation:
protons are the atomic number which define an element
Answer:
In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules produced by the reaction are called products. In a chemical reaction, only the atoms present in the reactants can end up in the products.
Explanation:
Answer:
I think it might be a closed system
The thing you MUST do FIRST is look for any H's, O's, or F's in the equation
1)any element just by itself not in a compound, their oxidation number is 0
ex: H2's oxidation number is 0
ex: Ag: oxidation number is 0 if its just something like Ag + BLA = LALA
2) the oxidation number of H is always +1, unless its just by itself (see #1)
3) the oxidation number of O is always -2, unless its just by itself (see #1)
4) the oxidation number of F is always -1, unless its just by itself (see#1)
ok so after you have written those oxidation numbers in rules 1-4 over each H, F, or O atom in the compound, you can look at the elements that we havent talked about yet
for example::::
N2O4
the oxidation number of O is -2.
since there are 4 O's, the charge is -8. now remember that N2O4 has to be neutral so the N2 must have a charge of +8
+8 divided by 2 = +4
N has an oxidation number of +4.
more rules:
5) the sum of oxidation numbers in a compound add up to 0 (when multiplied by the subscripts!!!) (see above example)
6) the sum of oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is the charge (for example, PO4 has a charge of (-3) so
oxidation # of O = -2. (there are 4 O's = -8 charge on that side ) P must have an oxidation number of 5. (-8+5= -3), and -3 is the total charge of the polyatomic ion
