Balanced Chemical Equation – Solution
N2 + O2 → 2NO
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
Dinitrogen + Dioxygen = Nitric Oxide (Radical)
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction. N2 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent.
- 2 N0 – 4 e– → 2 NII (oxidation)
- 2 O0 + 4 e– → 2 O-II (reduction)
