Input interpretation
CO (carbon monoxide) + HIO_3 (iodic acid) ⟶ H_2O (water) + CO_2 (carbon dioxide) + I_2 (iodine)
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CO + HIO_3 ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 + I_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CO + c_2 HIO_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 CO_2 + c_5 I_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, O, H and I: C: | c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = c_3 + 2 c_4 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 I: | c_2 = 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 5 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 5 CO + 2 HIO_3 ⟶ H_2O + 5 CO_2 + I_2
