Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CuS + HNO_3 ⟶ H_2O + H_2SO_4 + NO_2 + Cu(NO_3)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CuS + c_2 HNO_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 H_2SO_4 + c_5 NO_2 + c_6 Cu(NO_3)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cu, S, H, N and O: Cu: | c_1 = c_6 S: | c_1 = c_4 H: | c_2 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_4 N: | c_2 = c_5 + 2 c_6 O: | 3 c_2 = c_3 + 4 c_4 + 2 c_5 + 6 c_6 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 10 c_3 = 4 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 8 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | CuS + 10 HNO_3 ⟶ 4 H_2O + H_2SO_4 + 8 NO_2 + Cu(NO_3)_2
