Answer: The coefficient for water after the equation is balanced is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced chemical equation must have same charge and same number of atoms on both sides of the equation.

As the given reaction is a redox recation occuring in acidic medium.


HNO_3+3Fe^(2+)+3H^+\rightarrow NO+3Fe^(3+)+2H_2O

The coefficient for water will be 2 after the equation is balanced.
