Question

is the following chemical equation balanced? 3h₂ + n₂ ---> 2nh₃ no, because there are too many n in the product yes, because each element has the same number on each side of the equation

Explanation:

Step1: Count N atoms

Left side (reactants): \( \ce{N2} \) has 2 N atoms.
Right side (products): \( 2\ce{NH3} \) has \( 2\times1 = 2 \) N atoms.

Step2: Count H atoms

Left side: \( 3\ce{H2} \) has \( 3\times2 = 6 \) H atoms.
Right side: \( 2\ce{NH3} \) has \( 2\times3 = 6 \) H atoms.

All elements have equal counts on both sides. So the equation is balanced.

Answer:

Yes, because each element has the same number on each side of the equation (the option with this explanation)
