Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + HNO_3 + As_2S_5 ⟶ S + NO + H_3AsO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 HNO_3 + c_3 As_2S_5 ⟶ c_4 S + c_5 NO + c_6 H_3AsO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, N, As and S: H: | 2 c_1 + c_2 = 3 c_6 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = c_5 + 4 c_6 N: | c_2 = c_5 As: | 2 c_3 = c_6 S: | 5 c_3 = c_4 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 = 4/3 c_2 = 10/3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 10/3 c_6 = 2 Multiply by the least common denominator, 3, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 10 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 15 c_5 = 10 c_6 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 4 H_2O + 10 HNO_3 + 3 As_2S_5 ⟶ 15 S + 10 NO + 6 H_3AsO_4
