Question

Balance the following equation: i) $S + H N O_{3} \to H_{2} S O_{4} + N O_{2} + H_{2} O$

Open in App

Solution

The skeletal equation is:
$S + H N O_{3} \to H_{2} S O_{4} + N O_{2} + H_{2} O$

To equalize H, Multiply H2O by 2.

$S + 6 H N O_{3} \to H_{2} S O_{4} + N O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$

To equalize H, multiply $H N O_{3}$ by 6.

$S + 6 H N O_{3} \to H_{2} S O_{4} + N O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$

To equalize N and O, multiply $N O_{2}$ by 6.

$S + 6 H N O_{3} \to H_{2} S O_{4} + 6 N O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
The equation is balanced.
