Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + Cu ⟶ H_2O + NO + CuNO32 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 Cu ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NO + c_5 CuNO32 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O and Cu: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = c_4 + c_5 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + c_4 + 32 c_5 Cu: | c_2 = c_5 Since the coefficients are relative quantities and underdetermined, choose a coefficient to set arbitrarily. To keep the coefficients small, the arbitrary value is ordinarily one. For instance, set c_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 62/3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 31/3 c_4 = 59/3 c_5 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 3, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 62 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 31 c_4 = 59 c_5 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 62 HNO_3 + 3 Cu ⟶ 31 H_2O + 59 NO + 3 CuNO32
