Question

fill out the table below based on the following chemical equation. nh₃ + hcl → __nh₄cl
total # before (reactants)
elements
total # after (products)
n
h
cl
the correct coefficients for the equation is nh₃+ hcl → __nh₄cl

Explanation:

Step1: Balance the chemical equation

The balanced equation is $NH_3 + HCl
ightarrow NH_4Cl$.

Step2: Count elements before reaction

For $NH_3$, there is 1 N - atom, 3 H - atoms. For HCl, there is 1 H - atom and 1 Cl - atom. So before the reaction: N: 1, H: 3 + 1=4, Cl: 1.

Step3: Count elements after reaction

In $NH_4Cl$, there is 1 N - atom, 4 H - atoms and 1 Cl - atom. So after the reaction: N: 1, H: 4, Cl: 1.

Answer:

Elements	Total # Before (reactants)	Total # After (products)
H	4	4
Cl	1	1

The correct coefficients for the equation is 1 $NH_3$+ 1 $HCl$→ 1 $NH_4Cl$
