Question

How do you balance C3H6 + NH3 + O2 --> C3H3N + H2O?

Answer 1

Do you refer to acrylonitrile synthesis?

#2H_3C-CH=CH_2 + 2NH_3 + 3O_2 rarr 2H_2C=CHC-=N + 6H_2O#

Explanation:

The above equation represents the formation of a very important commodity chemical, acrylonitrile, `H_2C=CHC-=N`. It is used in the synthesis of acrylates, such as acrylic acid.

By the way, please check whether the equation is balanced; do not trust my arithmetic.
