Input interpretation
water + silver nitrate + phosphine ⟶ nitric acid + phosphoric acid + silver
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + + ⟶ + + Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 + c_3 ⟶ c_4 + c_5 + c_6 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Ag, N and P: H: | 2 c_1 + 3 c_3 = c_4 + 3 c_5 O: | c_1 + 3 c_2 = 3 c_4 + 4 c_5 Ag: | c_2 = c_6 N: | c_2 = c_4 P: | 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 = 4 c_2 = 8 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 8 c_5 = 1 c_6 = 8 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 + 8 + ⟶ 8 + + 8
