How to BalanceN2 + O2 = NO2

How to Balance Nitrogen gas + Oxygen gas → Nitrogen dioxide

Type of Chemical Reaction: This is a combination reaction.

Word Equation: Nitrogen gas + Oxygen gas → Nitrogen dioxide

Balancing Strategies: In this combination (also called synthesis) reaction N2 is combining with O2 to form NO2.

Hint-2

For a complete explanation, watch:

When balancing chemical equations our goal is to have the same number of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.

Only change the coefficients (these are the numbers in front substances).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.

Never change the subscripts (the small numbers after elements).
Coefficients are the numbers in front of the molecule.
