Input interpretation
sodium hyposulfite ⟶ mixed sulfur + sodium sulfate + sodium sulfide
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 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Na, O and S: Na: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_3 + 2 c_4 O: | 3 c_1 = 4 c_3 S: | 2 c_1 = c_2 + c_3 + 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 4 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 4 ⟶ 4 + 3 +
