Write a balanced equation for the decomposition of naalh4.

2 NaAlH₄ (s)  →  2 NaH (s) + 2 Al (s) + 3 H₂(g)

Explanation:

Decomposition reaction -

It is the type of reaction , where one only one reactant and more than one products ,

As, the reactant breaks down into two or more than products , the reaction me use some sort of catalyst or with the aid of heat and light to proceed , is known as a decomposition reaction .

The decomposition of NaAlH₄ , can be done in the following manner -

generating , NaH and Al  as the solid product and H₂ as the gaseous product,

NaAlH₄ (s)  →  NaH (s) +  Al (s) +  H₂(g)

The reaction can be balanced , simply by equalizing in the number of atoms in the reactant with the number of atoms in the product side , by multiplying the molecule with whole numbers .

Hence , the balanced reaction is given as -

2 NaAlH₄ (s)  →  2 NaH (s) + 2 Al (s) + 3 H₂(g)

a is the answer to this question
