HELLO!
Need help in balancing this equation
When ammonia is heated with copper(II)oxide, you'll be able to obtain nitrogen.Form an equation for this reaction
NH3 + CuO -> Cu(OH)2 + N2
NH4OH + CuO -> Cu(OH)2 + N2
Tried out both possibilities but still can't balance the equation....
2NH3 + 3CuO --> N2 + 3H2O + 3Cu
Nitrogen is oxidized (OS of -3 to 0) and Cu is reduced (OS of +2 to 0).
