Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: O_2 + N_2 ⟶ NO Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 O_2 + c_2 N_2 ⟶ c_3 NO Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O and N: O: | 2 c_1 = c_3 N: | 2 c_2 = c_3 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 = 1 c_3 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | O_2 + N_2 ⟶ 2 NO](../image_source/0776c01c769a140a6b4eb62003aa8450.png)
