Answer:

1Al₄C₃ + 12H₂O → 3CH₄ + 4Al(OH)₃

Step-by-step explanation:

SOLUTION :-

Balance it by using 'hit & trial' method , and you'll get the answer :-

1Al₄C₃ + 12H₂O → 3CH₄ + 4Al(OH)₃

VERIFICATION :-

In reactant side of equation :-

  • Number of atoms in Al = 1×4 = 4
  • Number of atoms in C = 1×3 = 3
  • Number of atoms in H = 12×2 = 24
  • Number of atoms in O = 12×1 = 12

In product side of equation :-

  • Number of atoms in C = 3×1 = 3
  • Number of atoms in H = (3×4) + 4(1×3) = 24
  • Number of atoms in Al = 4×1 = 4
  • Number of atoms in O = 4(1×3) = 12

Number of atoms of each element is equal in both reactant & product side of equation. Hence , the equation is balanced.
