### Balancing Chemical Equations

#### Reaction:
\[ \text{CH}_4 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{N}_2 \rightarrow \text{CO}_2 + \text{NH}_3 \]

- **Stoichiometric Coefficient (V):** Represents the number of moles for each substance in the reaction.
- Assume \( V_1 = -1 \).

#### Element Balance:

1. **Carbon (C):**
   \[ V_1 + V_4 = 0 \]
   \[ V_4 = 1 \]

2. **Hydrogen (H):**
   \[ 4V_1 + 4V_2 + 4V_5 = 0 \]

3. **Oxygen (O):**
   \[ 1V_2 + 2V_4 = 0 \]

4. **Nitrogen (N):**
   \[ 2V_3 + 1V_5 = 0 \]

#### BCE:
Represents the process of Balancing Chemical Equations.

#### Complete Reaction:
\[ \_\_\_\text{CH}_4 + \_\_\_\text{H}_2\text{O} + \_\_\_\text{N}_2 \rightarrow \_\_\_\text{CO}_2 + \_\_\_\text{NH}_3 \]

Expert Solution
Step 1

In balanced reaction number of each atom on reactant side should be equal to number of each atom on product side. It is done by changing stiochiometry coefficient.
