Question

When the following equation is balanced with the lowest whole number coefficients possible, what is the coefficient in front of Na?

Na (s) + H2O (g) yields NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)

1
2
3
4

Answer 1

@FriedRice

Answer 2

this is the balanced chemical equation
2 NA(s) + 2 H2O(l) = 2 NAOH(aq) + H2(g)

Answer 3

alright

Answer 4

2 H’s on left side, 1 H + 2 H’s on right side
Make 4 H’s on both sides

Na (s) + 2 H2O (g) → 2 NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)

1 Na on left side, 2 Na on right side
Make 2 Na on both sides

2 Na (s) + 2 H2O (g) →2 NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
2 O ‘s on both sides
OK

2 Na

Answer 5

what do you think is the lowest possible coefficient available ?
