Start with what they told you
5H2 + 4NO = 2N2 + 4H2O + H2
Looks balanced to me. Now what?
The reactants have five molecules that contain two hydrogen and four molecules that contains one oxygen and one nitrogen. In the products there are two molecules that contain two nitrogen, four molecules that contain one oxygen and two hydrogen, and one molecule that contains two hydrogen.
What is the chemical formula for the limiting reactant in the reaction and balanced chemical equation for the reaction, using lowest whole-number coefficients.
