Step 1: Count the number of each type of atom on each side of the equation:
Left side:
4 N atoms
12 H atoms
5 O atoms
Right side:
4 N atoms
12 H atoms
11 O atoms
Step 2: Balance the atoms by adjusting the coefficients:
4NH3 +5O2 → 4NO +6H2O
Now both sides have:
4 N atoms
12 H atoms
12 O atoms
Therefore, the balanced equation is:
4NH3 +5O2 → 4NO +6H2O
Balance the following equation showing all steps.
4NH3 +5O2 → 4NO +6H2O
