Answer:

Oxidation of ammonia

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NH₃ + O₂ → NO + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

The given reaction shows the oxidation ammonia. When oxygen react with ammonia it form nitrogen monoxide and water vapors. Nitrogen monoxide decomposes in air.

It can be seen that the given reaction also follow the law of conservation of mass. There are four nitrogen, ten oxygen and twelve hydrogen atoms on both side of equation.

According to the law of conservation mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical equation.

This law was given by french chemist  Antoine Lavoisier in 1789. According to this law mass of reactant and mass of product must be equal, because masses are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!<br> Calculate the bond for CO2
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Bonding Order = number of bonding electrons – number of antibonding electrons/2.

So for CO2, there is a total of 16 electrons, 8 of which are antibonding electrons.

So 16 – 8 = 8; divided by 2 = 4. So, 4 is the bonding order of CO2. The molecular structure of CO2 looks like this:
