Answer:
The answer to your question is given below
Step-by-step explanation:
8. The equation for the reaction is given below:
Mg3N2 + H2O –> Mg(OH)2 + NH3
Number of reactant atoms before balancing:
Mg = 3
N = 2
H = 2
O = 1
Number of product atoms before balancing:
Mg = 1
N = 1
H = 5
O = 2
Now, let us balanced the equation.
Mg3N2 + H2O –> Mg(OH)2 + NH3
There are 3 atoms of Mg on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of Mg(OH)2 as shown below:
Mg3N2 + H2O –> 3Mg(OH)2 + NH3
There are 2 atoms of N on the left side and 1 atom on the right side. It can be balance by putting 2 in front of NH3 as shown below:
Mg3N2 + H2O –> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3
There 2 atoms of H on the left side and a total of 12 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 6 in front of H2O as shown below:
Mg3N2 + 6H2O –> 3Mg(OH)2 + 2NH3
Now the equation is balanced.
Number of reactant atoms after balancing:
Mg = 3
N = 2
H = 12
O = 6
Number of product atoms after balancing:
Mg = 3
N = 2
H = 12
O = 6
9. When methane react with steam, carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas are produced as shown below:
CH4 + H2O –> CO + H2
Now, let us balance the equation. This is illustrated below:
There are a total of 6 atoms of H on the left side and 2 atoms on the right side. It can be balance by putting 3 in front of H2 as shown below:
CH4 + H2O –> CO + 3H2
Now the equation is balanced.
