Question

Balance the following chemical equations:
Cu+HNO3Cu(NO3)2+NO+H2O

Open in App
Solution

Cu+HNO3Cu(NO3)2+NO+H2O

Let us first balance, H and O on both sides of the equation, by inserting 8 before HNO3 in L.H.S.; 3 before Cu(NO3)2; 2 before NO and 4 before H2O in R.H.S., respectively, we get:"

Cu+8HNO33Cu(NO3)2+2NO+4H2O

Now, to balance Cu on both sides, insert 3 before Cu in L.H.S., we get:

3Cu+8HNO33Cu(NO3)2+2NO+4H2O

This is balanced equation.
