Aspartame (c14h18n2o5) is a solid used as an artificial sweetener. its combustion produces carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and
nitrogen gas. what is the coefficient of nitrogen gas in the balanced equation for the reaction? (balance the equation with the smallest possible whole number coefficients.)
Ionic is the answer. This is because lithium has a positive charge, while chlorine has a negative charge, meaning the compound doesn’t necessarily have an overall charge.
