Answer:
The answer to your question is the letter A. 1
Explanation:
Data
Chemical reaction
(NH₄)₂CO₃ ⇒ NH₃ + CO₂ + H₂O
Reactants Elements Products
2 Nitrogen 1
1 Carbon 1
8 Hydrogen 5
3 Oxygen 3
This reaction is unbalanced
(NH₄)₂CO₃ ⇒ 2NH₃ + CO₂ + H₂O
Reactants Elements Products
2 Nitrogen 2
1 Carbon 1
8 Hydrogen 8
3 Oxygen 3
Now, the reaction is balanced,
The coefficient for Carbon dioxide is 1
Answer:
The coefficient for carbon dioxide (CO2) is 1 (option A) is correct.
Explanation:
Step 1: The unbalanced equation
(NH4)2CO3 ⇒ NH3 + CO2 + H2O
Step 2: Balancing the equation
(NH4)2CO3 ⇒ NH3 + CO2 + H2O
On the left side, we have 2x N (in (NH4)2CO3), on the right side we have 1x N (in NH3). To balance the amount of N on both sides we have to multiply NH3 on the right side by 2. Now the equation is balanced.
(NH4)2CO3 ⇒ 2NH3 + CO2 + H2O
The coefficient for carbon dioxide (CO2) is 1 (option A) is correct.
