Balance the following equations.
- a Sn + NaOH → Na2SnO2 + H2
- b Al + Fe3O4 → Al2O3 + Fe
- c CH3OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O
- d P4O111 + H2O → H3PO4
- e PCl5 + H2O → H3PO4 + HCl
(a)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation has to be balanced.
Concept Introduction:
When a chemical reaction occurs, the total number of atoms in the reactant has to be same as that in the product formed. Chemical reaction can be entered in form of chemical equation with all necessary conditions. The chemical equation has to be balanced by adding coefficients only before the elements or compounds to make the atoms on both sides of arrow equal. This is known as balanced chemical equation.
