Step-by-step explanation:

When the number of atoms on both reactant and product side are equal the this chemical equation is known as balanced chemical equation.

For example,
NH_(4)OH + AlCl_(3) \rightarrow Al(OH)_(3) + NH_(4)Cl

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • N = 1
  • H = 5
  • O = 1
  • Al = 1
  • Cl = 3

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • N = 1
  • H = 7
  • O = 3
  • Al = 1
  • Cl = 1

Therefore, to balance this chemical equation we multiply
NH_(4)OH by 3 on reactant side and multiply
NH_(4)Cl by 3 on product side.

Hence, the balanced chemical reaction equation is as follows.


3NH_(4)OH + AlCl_(3) \rightarrow Al(OH)_(3) + 3NH_(4)Cl
