Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
HCN + 4H2O → CNO + 3H3O
The coefficients show the number of particles (atoms or molecules), and the indices show the number of atoms that make up the molecule. New substances are formed as a result of the rearrangement of the original atoms. As a result of a chemical reaction, atoms of chemical elements do not disappear anywhere and new ones do not appear, their number remains unchanged – this follows from the law of conservation of mass of substances.
Chemical Reaction Information
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. H2O is an oxidizing agent.
3 O-II + 3 e– → 3 O-III (reduction)
Reaction Type
Substances that react are called starting materials or reactants. The substances that form as a result are called reaction products.
