Question

Balance this chemical equation. NH4OH AlCl3 → Al(OH)3; NH4Cl

Answer 1

3NH4OH+AlCl3=Al(OH)3+3NH4Cl

Answer 2

Explanation:

When the number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal the this chemical equation is known as balanced chemical equation.

For example, $NH_{4}OH + AlCl_{3} \rightarrow Al(OH)_{3} + NH_{4}Cl$

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

• N = 1

• H = 5

• O = 1

• Al = 1

• Cl = 3

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

• N = 1

• H = 7

• O = 3

• Al = 1

• Cl = 1

Therefore, to balance this chemical equation we multiply $NH_{4}OH$ by 3 on reactant side and multiply $NH_{4}Cl$ by 3 on product side.

Hence, the balanced chemical reaction equation is as follows.

    $3NH_{4}OH + AlCl_{3} \rightarrow Al(OH)_{3} + 3NH_{4}Cl$
