What are you asking bro?

loathemath · Answer

oops sorry,  i tried editing the question but it hasnt popped up,
 My answer was Ba3N2+3H2O--> 3Ba(OH)2+2NH3
But its wrong ( look at the file attached) and i want to know why

Well I see you already have the answer...
the second equation is correct because both sides have 3Ba... 2 N... 12 H... and 6O... which makes it balanced

I'm sure you just did the addition of adding an element wrong

Im confused as to why its 6 H20 instead of one I feel that it should be equal on both sides and i had to make the H20 have the numbers that multiply to get 6 (3*2) not HAVE the number of it

gah made a typo i mean 3 on the first sentence, 6 H20 instead of 3

snowflake0531 · Answer

if you only had 3 (H2O) you would have 6 H and 3 O on the left
but on the right side of the equation.. you have 12 H and  6 O .. which does not match up with the left

snowflake0531 · Answer

so you need 6(H2O) because then it would make the left 12 H and 6 O, which will then match up with the right if that makes sense

Did I not say she was intelligent? (;

loathemath · Answer

Ohhhhhhhh, i think im starting to get it, but how did you get 12 H and 6 O's
Like the right is 2NH3 so i was thinking 2 times 3 and that means we have 6 H's and 2 N's on the right side

snowflake0531 · Answer

the 2(NH3) gives you 6H's yes.. but the 3(Ba(OH)2) gives you 6 more H's, giving you a total of 12 H's

on the right

hopefully that helps with you seeing it clearer

basically I just rewrote it without the coefficient thing in the front

OOOOh i totally forgot about the OH2 i didn't think we included it since i thought it was connected, Okay so we got the already 6 Hs but since 3(bA(OH2) is 3*2 it gives 6 and 6 plus 6 is 12 ooooh, and we put it on the left so it seperates to make it add up to that on the right side
