I need help with chemical equations, but I am not sure how to post them ehehehe. So can anyone help me?

darkle:

ok miss

Astrid1:

\[2~ H _{2} + NO \rightarrow 2 ~H _{2}O + N _{2}\] I believe this is not balanced due to H=4 H=2 O=2 O=2 Am I correct? Be warned, I still have 12 more questions (and idkthe answer to them)

AZ:

Is the question asking us to balance it? If so, it isn't balanced because you have 1 O on the left side and 2 on the right 1 N on the left side and 2 on the right the H are balanced since you have 4 on both sides so what is the coefficient of NO so that way you can balance the O and N?

Astrid1:

In this case no, it is just asking us if it is balanced or unbalanced.

AZ:

Ah, I see So you have your answer now lol but do you understand how I counted the O, N and H and where I got those numbers from? (since you got different numbers)

Astrid1:

Yeah, and nope. I see that your answer was different from mine and I unsure how that is, I know I must've messed uo somewhere bc ur a smortie and I;m still me. Anyways, continue

AZ:

\[\sf 2~ H _{2} + NO \rightarrow 2 ~H _{2}O + N _{2}\] So look at whatever is on the left side of the \(\to\) we have 2H2 + NO H2 means there's 2 H's and then 2 H2 means there's 2 H2 which means there's a total of 4 H's and then NO means we have 1 N and 1 O

AZ:

on the right hand side of the \(\to\) we have 2 H2O + N2 H2O means we have 2 H's and 1 O 2 H2O means we have 2 *2 H's and 2*1 O so we have 4 H's and 2 O's and N2 is 2 N's

Astrid1:

Okay, I didn't think about "NO" I forgot they had the lazzy missint 1. I realized I was close o-o So so close.

AZ:

so hopefully that means you'll get the rest of the questions correct if they're the same concept :)

Astrid1:

Might help the through the rest, if not. I shall call upon you.
