Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Cu(NO_3)_2 ⟶ O_2 + HNO_3 + Cu Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Cu(NO_3)_2 ⟶ c_3 O_2 + c_4 HNO_3 + c_5 Cu Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Cu and N: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 O: | c_1 + 6 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 3 c_4 Cu: | c_2 = c_5 N: | 2 c_2 = 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 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + 2 Cu(NO_3)_2 ⟶ O_2 + 4 HNO_3 + 2 Cu
