Can you start by asking me which chemical equation I'm trying to balance? Then,
guide me step by step through the process of balancing it, providing tips and
asking me for feedback on each step.

Of course! Could you please provide the chemical equation you'd like to balance?

Great, so the chemical equation you provided is
𝑁
2
+
3
𝐻
2
N
2

+3H
2

Now, let's balance it step by step.

Count the atoms on each side:


On the left side, we have 1 nitrogen atom and 6 hydrogen atoms (3 multiplied by 2).

On the right side, we have 2 nitrogen atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms.

Start by balancing the atoms that appear only once on each side:
Since nitrogen appears only once on each side, let's balance it first.

We need 2 nitrogen atoms on the left side to match the 2 on the right.

So, let's put a coefficient of 2 in front of


𝑁
2
N
2

This gives us:

2
𝑁
2
+
3
𝐻
2
2N
2

+3H
2

Now, we have 4 nitrogen atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms on the left side.

Now, let's balance the hydrogen atoms:


We have 3 hydrogen atoms in
𝐻
2
H
2

, and we need to match the 6 hydrogen atoms on the left side.

To balance hydrogen, we need to put a coefficient of 2 in front of


𝐻
2
H
2

This gives us:

2
𝑁

6
𝐻

2N
2

+6H
2

Now, we have 4 nitrogen atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms on both sides.

Could you verify if you agree with these steps? If you have any questions or
suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Alright, let's balance the equation
𝑃
4
𝑂
10
+
𝐻
2
𝑂
P
4
O
10

+H
2

O.

Count the atoms on each side:


On the left side, we have 4 phosphorus atoms, 10 oxygen atoms, and 2 hydrogen
atoms.

On the right side, we have 1 phosphorus atom, 1 oxygen atom, and 2 hydrogen atoms.

Start by balancing the atoms that appear only once on each side:
Since phosphorus appears only once on each side, let's balance it first.

We need 4 phosphorus atoms on the right side to match the left side.

So, let's put a coefficient of 4 in front of


𝑃

𝑂
10
P

O

This gives us:

Now, we have 16 phosphorus atoms and 40 oxygen atoms on the left side.

Now, let's balance the oxygen atoms:


We have 1 oxygen atom in
𝐻
2
𝑂
H
2

O, and we need to match the 40 oxygen atoms on the left side.

To balance oxygen, we need to put a coefficient of 20 in front of


𝐻
2
𝑂
H

O.

This gives us:

4
𝑃

𝑂

𝐻

𝑂

4

O

+20H

Now, we have 16 phosphorus atoms, 40 oxygen atoms, and 40 hydrogen atoms on both
sides.

Could you confirm if you agree with these steps? If there are any questions or if
you'd like to discuss any part of the process, feel free to let me know!

Okay, let's balance the equation
𝑁
2
+
6
𝐻
2
N
2
+6H
2

Count the atoms on each side:


On the left side, we have 2 nitrogen atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms (6 multiplied by
2).

On the right side, we have 2 nitrogen atoms and 6 hydrogen atoms.

Start by balancing the atoms that appear only once on each side:
Since nitrogen appears only once on each side, let's balance it first.

We have 2 nitrogen atoms on both sides, so nitrogen is already balanced.

Now, let's balance the hydrogen atoms:


We have 6 hydrogen atoms in
𝐻
2
H
2

, but we need to match the 12 hydrogen atoms on the left side.

To balance hydrogen, we need to put a coefficient of 2 in front of


𝐻

This gives us:

Now, we have 2 nitrogen atoms and 12 hydrogen atoms on both sides.
