If you rewrite the following word equation as a balanced chemical equation, what will the coefficient and symbol for fluorine be? nitrogen trifluoride → nitrogen + fluorine a) 3f2 b) 6f2 c) f3 d) 6f

The given word equation is:

Nitrogen trifluoride-->Nitrogen + Fluorine

The chemical formula of nitrogen trifluoride is and that of nitrogen gas is and fluorine gas is .

The balanced chemical equation representing the decomposition reaction of nitrogen trifluoride to nitrogen and fluorine will be,

The chemical formula of fluorine gas will be as fluorine exists as a diatomic gas in it's pure state. The coefficient of fluorine will be 3

Therefore, the correct answer is a) 3F2
