Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Chemical formula for Ammonium nitrate: NH4NO3

We want to balance the equation. The products are N2, O2, and H2O.

NH4NO3 -> N2 + O2 +H2O (unbalanced)

If we balance it, we get:

2NH4NO3 -> 2N2 + O2 +4H2O


Why? we have a total of 4 Nitrogens on each side,6 oxygens, and 8 hydrogens.

The equation is balanced

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
