(a)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation should be balanced.
Concept introduction:
The chemical reaction is said to be balanced if there are same number of constituent atoms are present on both sides of the reaction arrow. A balanced chemical reaction satisfies the law of conservation of mass.
Answer to Problem 47QAP
Explanation of Solution
The given chemical reaction is as follows:
The number of Ca and C atom are already balanced in the given reaction. The number of oxygen atoms on the left side of the reaction arrow is 1 and that on the right hand side of the reaction arrow is 2.
Similarly, the number of hydrogen atoms on the left side of the reaction arrow is 2 and that of the oxygen atoms is 4.
Thus, give coefficient 2 to
Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be:
(b)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation should be balanced.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 47QAP
Explanation of Solution
The given chemical reaction is as follows:
The number of N and Cr atom is already balanced. The number of hydrogen atoms on the left side of the reaction arrow is 8 and that on the right hand side is 2 thus, give coefficient 4 to
Now, number of oxygen atoms on left hand side is 7 and that on the right hand side is also 7. Therefore, the balanced chemical reaction will be:
(c)
Interpretation:
The given chemical equation should be balanced.
Concept introduction:

Answer to Problem 47QAP
Explanation of Solution
The given chemical reaction is as follows:
The number of nitrogen atom on left hand side is 1 and that on the right hand side is 2, give coefficient 2 to
Now, number of carbon atom on left side is 2 and that on the right hand side is 1 thus, give coefficient 2 to
The number of hydrogen atom on the left hand side is 10 and that on the right hand side is 2 thus, give coefficient 5 to
The number of oxygen atom on left hand side is 2 and that on the right hand side is 9. To balance the oxygen atoms, give coefficient 9/2 to oxygen gas on the left hand side.
Or,
Thus, the balanced chemical reaction is as follows:
