Answer:

This reaction has infinite ways to be balanced

Explanation:

To balance this equation we can use the algebraic method:

N2O4(g) + CO → NO(g) + CO2(g)+NO2(g)

Where we write each molecule as a letter:

A + B → C + D + E

Then, we write the equations according the number of atoms of each molecule. That is:

Oxygen → 4A + B = C + 2D + 2E <em>(1)</em>

Nitrogen → 2A = C + E <em>(2)</em>

Carbon → B = D <em>(3)</em>

Then, we have to give 1 arbitral number for a letter. For example:

B = 1; D = 1

<em>(1) </em>4A + 1 = C + 2 + 2E

4A = C + 2E + 1

2A = C + E <em>(2) </em>Twice <em>(2):</em>

4A = 2C + 2E

Subtracting <em>(1) </em>in <em>(2)</em>

C + 2E + 1 = 2C + 2E

C + 1 = 2C

1 = C

Si 1 = C:

4A + 1 = 1 + 2 + 2E

4A = 2 + 2E <em>(1)</em>

y:

2A = 1 + E <em>(2)</em>

Twice:

4A = 2 + 2E

As <em>(1) </em>and <em>(2) </em>are the same equation:

<h3>This reaction has infinite ways to be balanced</h3><h3 />

For example:

N2O4(g) + CO → NO(g) + CO2(g)+NO2(g)
