Balanced equation
![Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NO_2 ⟶ O_2 + N_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NO_2 ⟶ c_2 O_2 + c_3 N_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N and O: N: | c_1 = 2 c_3 O: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_2 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 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NO_2 ⟶ 2 O_2 + N_2](../image_source/629973e76d82a0e2195f161d8e0e06e6.png)
