Question

this diagram represents the synthesis of nitrogen monoxide. write a balanced equation of this chemical reaction. a n2(g) + o2(g) → no(g) b n2(g) + o2(g) → 2no(g) c n2(g) + 2o2(g) → no2(g) d 2n2(g) + 2o2(g) → 2no(g)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify reactants and products

Reactants are nitrogen and oxygen, products are nitrogen - monoxide.

Step2: Write un - balanced equation

$N_2(g)+O_2(g)
ightarrow NO(g)$

Step3: Balance nitrogen atoms

There are 2 nitrogen atoms in $N_2$, so we put a 2 in front of $NO$: $N_2(g)+O_2(g)
ightarrow 2NO(g)$

Step4: Check oxygen atoms

On the left - hand side, there are 2 oxygen atoms in $O_2$, and on the right - hand side, there are 2 oxygen atoms in $2NO$. The equation is balanced.

Answer:

$N_2(g)+O_2(g)
ightarrow 2NO(g)$
