Name the reactants and products in the following skeletal equation and balance them.
(iii) $N a + O_{2} \to N a_{2} O$

Open in App

Solution

The skeletal equation is:
$N a + O_{2} \to N a_{2} O$
Reactants are sodium and oxygen, the product is sodium oxide

Count the number of atoms of each element.

To equalize $O$ , multiply $N a_{2} O$ by $2$

$N a + O_{2} \to 2 N a_{2} O$

To equalize $N a$ , multiply $N a$ by $4$ .

$4 N a + O_{2} \to 2 N a_{2} O$
Hence, the equation is balanced.

Name the reactants and products in the following skeletal equation and balance them. (iii) Na+O2→Na2O

The skeletal equation is: Na+O2→Na2O Reactants are sodium and oxygen, the product is sodium oxide Count the number of atoms of each element. To equalize O, multiply Na2O by 2 Na+O2→2Na2O To equalize Na, multiply Na by 4. 4Na+O2→2Na2O Hence, the equation is balanced.
