Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Cl_2 + HNO_3 ⟶ H_2O + NO + HClO3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Cl_2 + c_2 HNO_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NO + c_5 HClO3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cl, H, N and O: Cl: | 2 c_1 = c_5 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 + c_5 N: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = c_3 + c_4 + 3 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 = 3/2 c_2 = 5 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 5 c_5 = 3 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 10 c_3 = 2 c_4 = 10 c_5 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 3 Cl_2 + 10 HNO_3 ⟶ 2 H_2O + 10 NO + 6 HClO3
