Explanation & Answer

(NH4)2Cr2O7 = Cr2O3 + H2O + N2

To balance the equation through coefficient method one need to assign variables to solve the equation. So,

x(NH4)2Cr2O7 = yCr2O3 +z H2O + wN2

For N:

2x=2w

For Hydrogen:

8x=2z

For Cr:

2x=2y

For Oxygen:

7x=3y+z

Suppose x= 1

Then,

2(1)=2w

W=1

8x=2z

Z= 4

2x=2y

Y=1

7x=3y+z

7(1) = 3(1) + z

Z=4

Put the values of variables in the equation and you will get the balanced chemical equation.

(NH4)2Cr2O7 = Cr2O3 +4 H2O + N2
