Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HCl + HNO_3 + NH_4ClO_4 ⟶ H_2O + Cl_2 + N_2O + HClO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HCl + c_2 HNO_3 + c_3 NH_4ClO_4 ⟶ c_4 H_2O + c_5 Cl_2 + c_6 N_2O + c_7 HClO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, N and O: Cl: | c_1 + c_3 = 2 c_5 + c_7 H: | c_1 + c_2 + 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 + c_7 N: | c_2 + c_3 = 2 c_6 O: | 3 c_2 + 4 c_3 = c_4 + c_6 + 4 c_7 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_3 = 1 c_4 = 25/14 + (4 c_1)/7 + (3 c_2)/14 c_5 = 2/7 + (4 c_1)/7 - (2 c_2)/7 c_6 = c_2/2 + 1/2 c_7 = 3/7 - c_1/7 + (4 c_2)/7 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so additional coefficients must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 8 and c_2 = 3 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 8 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 7 c_5 = 4 c_6 = 2 c_7 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 8 HCl + 3 HNO_3 + NH_4ClO_4 ⟶ 7 H_2O + 4 Cl_2 + 2 N_2O + HClO_4
