Question

Translate the following balanced chemical equation into words.

Ba3N2(aq) + 6H2O(l) → 3Ba(OH)2(s) + 2NH3(g)

A. Barium nitrogen reacts with water to yield barium hydroxide and nitrogen hydrogen.

B. Barium nitrate reacts with water to yield barium oxide and nitrogen hydride.

C. Boron nitride reacts with water to yield boron hydroxide and nitrogen trihydride.

D. Barium nitride reacts with water to yield barium hydroxide and nitrogen trihydride.

Answer 1

D. barium nitride reacts with water to yield barium hydroxide and nitrogen trihydride.


Ba_3N_2 is Barium nitride, 6H2O is 6 water molecules, Ba(OH)_2 is Barium hydroxide, and NH_3 is nitrogen trihydride/ammonia.
(aq) = aqueous solution, (s) = solid, (g) = gas, and (l) = liquid.
So, D. barium nitride reacts with water to yield barium hydroxide and nitrogen trihydride.
