Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rather than doing all the reactions, let's look at one in detail and develop a process for answering the rest.

Start with a pencil and paper. Pencil, because balancing equations requires some initial guesses that often need to be changed (erased).

Make a table such as shown on the attached worksheet. The first problem is demonstated on the attachment.

1. N2O5 -> N2O4 + O2

2N2O5 -> 2N2O4 + 1O2

2. KNO3 -> KNO2 + O2

We only need 1 K and 1 N for the producrs, and 1 KNO3 supplies that number. But 1 KNO3 has 3 O atoms, while the only place for the O atoms to go is )2, a diatomic molecule. To obtain 2O for the 1O2, we need to change the KNO3 coefficient to 2:

2KNO3 -> KNO2 + O2

Now change the KNO2 coefficient to 2 (to accomodate the 2 K and 2 N atoms):

2KNO3 -> 2KNO2 + O2

The reactants have 6 O atoms, so we should be balanced:

2KNO3 -> 2KNO2 + O2

K 2 2

N 2 2

O 6 4+2 = 6

3. NH4NO2 -> N2 + H2O

NH4NO2 -> N2 + 2H2O

N 2 2 0

H 4 0 4

O 2 0 2 Everything is balanced

4. O3 -> O2

O3 -> O2

2O3 -> 3O2

6 O 6 O

5. Zn + AgCl -> ZnCl2 + Ag

Zn + 2AgCl -> ZnCl2 + 2Ag

Zn 1 1

Ag 2 2

Cl 2 2

Everything is balanced.

6. 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Na 2 0 2 0

O 2 4 4 2

H 2 2 4

S 1 1
