The two half-reactions are...
Ag→Ag+
and...
NO3→NO
Let's start by balancing the first half-reaction...
Ag→Ag+
The amounts are already balanced; 1:1. The oxygens are balanced. So all that's left is to balance the charge...
Ag→Ag++e−
Now let's do the other equation... Amounts of nitrogen are balanced, so we first need to balance the oxygens...
NO3→NO
4H++NO3→NO+2H2O
Next, we need to balance charge...
4e−+4H++NO3→NO+2H2O
Now let's go ahead and rewrite each half-reaction after being balanced by themselves...
Ag→Ag++e−
4e−+4H++NO3→NO+2H2O
Now we need to multiply by some factor to get the electrons to cancel out. In this case, that factor is 4, which needs to be applied to the top half-reaction...
4(Ag→Ag++e−)=4Ag→4Ag++4e−
Then we combine this half-reaction with the second one above to get...
4Ag+4H++NO3→4Ag++NO+2H2O
Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons.
Potassium is not found free in nature but is found in the form of potash. Potash is the ore of potassium and this ore is mined from deep down the earth or can sometimes be found on the surface. Potash was mostly formed as sea water receded and left deposits.
Potash is usually in the form of potassium salts such potassium chloride and potassium sulphate. The potash is mined then taken to the factory where it is crushed and purified by removing such impurities as clay.
The now purified potassium salts are subjected to a process called electrolysis where potassium metal is obtained from its salt.
