How do I balance this equation?
Posted: Wed Nov 25, 2020 7:49 am
Zn (s) + NO3-(aq) + H+(aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + NO2-(g) + H2O (l)
1. Show first, which ones are the redox pairs?
2. Reduction Add H+ hat H2O
3. Oxidation Zn to Zn 2+
4. Balance the charges with e-
5. Equality the electrons
6. Add both equations
7. Eliminate electrons, H+ and water if Impossible.
