Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Fe(NO_3)_3 + NH_4OH ⟶ Fe(OH)_3 + NH_4NO_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Fe(NO_3)_3 + c_2 NH_4OH ⟶ c_3 Fe(OH)_3 + c_4 NH_4NO_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Fe, N, O and H: Fe: | c_1 = c_3 N: | 3 c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_4 O: | 9 c_1 + c_2 = 3 c_3 + 3 c_4 H: | 5 c_2 = 3 c_3 + 4 c_4 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 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | Fe(NO_3)_3 + 3 NH_4OH ⟶ Fe(OH)_3 + 3 NH_4NO_3
