This question asks you to write an unbalanced reaction to represent each of the following reactions.
00:07
Do not include phase abbreviations.
00:11
Well, we can probably balance them, but we'll see.
00:15
So nitrogen gas is n2.
00:18
It'll react with oxygen gas, which is o2, in order to form nitrogen dioxide.
00:26
Nitrogen dioxide is n -o -2.
00:29
Nitrogen meaning we just have one and then die meaning we have two oxygens and so to balance this we just put a two here and a two here but you don't need that unless you want it and then dye nitrogen pent oxide so dye means two pent means five dye nitrogen pentoxide reacts to form dinitrogen tetroxide so i assume it's a decomposition to produce dinoitrogen tet.
01:03
Tetra means four.
01:05
So tetroxide means four oxygens and oxygen.
01:10
Oxygen gas is probably what they should have said.
01:14
And then to balance this we just need a two here and a two here.
01:21
And then we've got ozone is 03, forming oxygen, again oxygen gas, which is 02.
01:32
And to balance it, we need to a two here and a three here.
01:37
But again, for some reason it didn't want you to do that.
01:42
But it is a good exercise...
