Question

9.Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) can decompose to form gaseous water, nitrogen, and oxygen. What is the sum of the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation

Answer 1

the sum of the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation is 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the sum of the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation is shown below:

here is the balanced chemical equation

`2NH_4NO_3 \rightarrow 4H_2O)g) + 2N_2(g) + 1O_2(g)`

Now the sum is

= 2 + 4 + 2 + 1

= 9

hence, the sum of the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation is 9

and, the same is to be considered
