Complete and balance the equation
Step 1: When Nitrogen dioxide
Step 2: Balancing the given chemical equation step by step as:
1. Count the number of atoms on both the sides
Reactant | Product |
N - 1 | N - 1 |
O - 5 | O - 3 |
H - 2 | H - 1 |
Here, atoms of Nitrogen are balanced Hydrogen, and Oxygen atoms are not balanced on both sides.
2. Multiply
3: Count the number of atoms on both the sides
Reactant | Product |
N - 1 | N - 1 |
O - 6 | O - 3 |
H - 4 | H - 1 |
Here, an atom of Nitrogen is balanced but atoms of Hydrogen and Oxygen are not balanced on both sides.
4: Multiply
5: Count the number of atoms on both the sides
Reactant | Product |
N - 1 | N - 4 |
O - 6 | O - 12 |
H - 4 | H - 4 |
Here, atoms of Hydrogen are balanced but atoms of Nitrogen and Oxygen are not balanced on both sides.
6: Multiply
7: Count the number of atoms on both sides:
Reactant | Product |
N - 4 | N - 4 |
O - 12 | O - 12 |
H - 4 | H - 4 |
Now the equation is balanced as all the atoms are equal on both sides.
