Chapter 21, Problem 21.106SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Balanced equation for the preparation of $S{i}_3{N}_4$ from $SiC{l}_4$ and $N{H}_3$ has to be written.

Concept introduction:

Balanced reaction is a chemical reaction in which number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge are same on both reactant side and the product side.

Steps in balancing the information

• Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation
• Step 2: Find the coeffienct to balance the equation.
• The coeffienct should be reduced to the smallest whole number
