Answer:

3; Double Displacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Balancing is making the number of atoms of each element same on both the sides (reactant and product side).

To find the number of atoms of each element we multiply coefficient and the subscript

For example
5Ca_1Cl_2 contains

5 × 1 = 5 ,Ca atoms and

5 × 2 = 10, Cl atoms

If there is a bracket in the chemical formula

For example
3Ca_3 (P_1 O_4 )_2 we multiply coefficient × subscript × number outside the bracket to find the number of atoms

(Please note: 3 is the coefficient, and if there is no number given then 1 will be the coefficient )

So

3 × 3 = 9 , Ca atoms

3 × 1 × 2 = 6, P atoms

3 × 4 × 2 = 24, O atoms are present

Let us balance the equation given


Ca_3 N_2+6H_2 0>Ca(OH)_2+2NH_3

(UNBALANCED)

Reactant side Number of atoms or groups Product side

of each element

3 Ca 1

2 N 2

12 H 8

6 O 2

Multiplying
Ca(OH)_2 on the right side by 3, we will have


Ca_3 N_2+6H_2 0>3Ca(OH)_2+2NH_3

Reactant side Number of atoms or groups Product side

of each element

3 Ca 3

2 N 2

12 H 12

6 O 6

Balanced!!!!
