Don't know how to balance this equation?
« on: January 13, 2009, 10:11:19 PM »
Cu + HNO3 ------> Cu(NO3)2 + NO + H2O

Tried balancing it, but I always get an extra 2 Nitrogen

Ah, i took pretty long to figure it out after trials and errors. Hint: 8 moles of HNO3. Well you can also try online chemical balancer but it isn't as fun than to do it on your own.
No matters what results are waiting for us, it's nothing but the DESTINY!!!!!!!!!!!!
