jhonyy9 · Answer

what is the common multiplie for 3 and 5 in case of oxigen ?

liaannne · Answer

Man I dont even know

jhonyy9 · Answer

but i think than we begin with hydrogen will be more usefully

check please there than you multiplie the left side by 2 so will be 2HNO3 because on the right side there are 2 hydrogen 

yes ?

so than will be on the left side 2*3 = 6 oxigen - yes ?

liaannne · Answer

Yes!

jhonyy9 · Answer

on the lrft side multiplie the NO by 2 so will get 2NO this mean that will result on the right side 2O + 4O = 6 oxygen so the sides by oxygen will be in equilibru 
yes ?
