Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + NH_3 + CuSO_4 ⟶ Cu(OH)_2 + (NH_4)_2SO_4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 NH_3 + c_3 CuSO_4 ⟶ c_4 Cu(OH)_2 + c_5 (NH_4)_2SO_4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, N, Cu and S: H: | 2 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_4 + 8 c_5 O: | c_1 + 4 c_3 = 2 c_4 + 4 c_5 N: | c_2 = 2 c_5 Cu: | c_3 = c_4 S: | c_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 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 2 H_2O + 2 NH_3 + CuSO_4 ⟶ Cu(OH)_2 + (NH_4)_2SO_4
