Balance the following equations using the change in oxidation number method.
3.NH3+O2⎯→NO+H2O
Balanced equation: _______________________________________________________
Oxidant:
(1 pt) ________________
Reductant:
(1 pt) ________________
4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (l)
This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:
4 N-III - 20 e- → 4 NII
(oxidation)
10 O0 + 20 e- → 10 O-II
(reduction)
NH3 is a reducing agent, O2 is an oxidizing agent
