Question

Somebody please help me with this.

Answer 1

1. We can see here that in the balanced equation, the coefficient of the reactant, Nb is 4.

2. The coefficient of the reactant,
`O_(2)` is 5.

3. The coefficient of the product,
`Nb_(2) O_(5)` is 2.

Here is the balanced equation of the reaction:

`4Nb + 5O_(2)` →
`2Nb_(2)O_(5)`

A chemical equation is a representation of a chemical reaction that shows the reactants and products involved, with the number of atoms of each element being the same on both sides of the equation.

When balancing the equation, we ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.

Thus, the equation is balanced, meaning that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides.
