What is the balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia?

Respuesta :

[tex]H_2O + H_2 + O_2[/tex]

Explanation:

1. Water decomposition

  • Decomposition reactions are represented by-

       The general equation: AB → A + B.

  • Various methods used in the decomposition of water are -
  1. Electrolysis
  2. Photoelectrochemical water splitting
  3. Thermal decomposition of water
  4. Photocatalytic water splitting
  • Water decomposition is the chemical reaction in which water is broken down giving oxygen and hydrogen.
  • The chemical equation will be -

        [tex]H_2O + H_2 + O_2[/tex]

Hence, balancing the equation we need to add a coefficient of 2 in front of [tex]H_2O[/tex] on right-hand-side of the equation and  2 in front of [tex]H_2[/tex] on left-hand-side of the equation.

     ∴The balanced equation is -

       [tex]2 H_2O[/tex] → [tex]2 H_2 + O_2[/tex]

2. Formation of ammonia

  • The formation of ammonia is by reacting nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas.

      [tex]N_2 + H[/tex] → [tex]NH_3[/tex]

Hence, for balancing equation we need to add a coefficient of 3 in front of hydrogen and 2 in front of ammonia.

   ∴The balanced chemical equation for the formation of ammonia gas is as  follows -

     [tex]N_2+3H[/tex]→ [tex]2NH_3[/tex].

  • When 6 moles of [tex]N_2[/tex] react with 6 moles of[tex]H_2[/tex] 4 moles of ammonia are produced.
