Question

Balancing the following chemical reactions by identifying the products.

(d) Al₂O₃$+$ N₂$+$C$\to$AIN$+$____

Answer 1

A balanced chemical equation means the number of atoms of each type involved in a chemical reaction are the same on the reactant and product sides of the equation.

1. (d) Al₂O₃(s) $+$ N₂(g)$+$3C(s) $\to$2AIN(s) $+$3CO(g)
2. In this chemical equation, the number of atoms of each type involved in this chemical reaction are the same on the reactant and product sides of the equation.

• The reactants are aluminium oxide( Al₂O₃) carbon (C) and nitrogen ( N₂).The products are aluminium nitride (AlN) and carbon monoxide (CO).
• The number of atoms of each element in both side are Al = 2, O = 3, N = 2, C = 3
• (d) Al₂O₃(s) $+$ N₂(g)$+$3C(s) $\to$2AIN(s) $+$3CO(g)

The equation Al₂O₃(s) $+$ N₂(g)$+$3C(s) $\to$2AIN(s) $+$3CO(g) is a balanced chemical equation.
