Question

Which is a representation of a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitrogen gas and chlorine gas to form nitrogen trichloride?

Answer 1

Nitrogen is N2
Chlorine is Cl2
Nitrogen Tri-chloride is NCl3

First just write the equation:

`N_2 + Cl_2 ---\ \textgreater \ NCl_3`

Then balance it:
Following is the balanced chemical equation:


`N_2 + 3Cl_2 ---\ \textgreater \ 2NCl_3`
