N2(g) + O2(g) ==> NO2(g).
You balance it.
You balance it.
2N₂ + 4O₂ → 4NO₂
Nitrogen gas (N2) reacts with oxygen gas (O2) to produce nitrogen dioxide gas (NO2).
Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation:
N2 + O2 → NO2
Step 2: Balance the equation by adjusting the coefficients (numbers in front of each compound) until the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides.
N2 + O2 → 2NO2
Now, we have two nitrogen (N) atoms and four oxygen (O) atoms on both sides of the equation, making it balanced.
Therefore, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
N2 + O2 → 2NO2
