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
It is not equal because it dose not obey the conservation of mass. 60+25= 85 not 75.
The answer is A it's a basic because once you add another substance to a neutral it either becomes acidic or basic. this one becomes basic because the hydroxide ion concentrate increased.
Roughage, also known as Dietary fibre is thought to play an important role in digestive health, heart health, preventing Type 2 diabetes, as well as maintaining energy levels.
