Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + Na3AlO3 ⟶ H_2O + NaNO_3 + Al(NO_3)_3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 Na3AlO3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NaNO_3 + c_5 Al(NO_3)_3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O, Na and Al: H: | c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = c_4 + 3 c_5 O: | 3 c_1 + 3 c_2 = c_3 + 3 c_4 + 9 c_5 Na: | 3 c_2 = c_4 Al: | c_2 = 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_2 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 6 HNO_3 + Na3AlO3 ⟶ 3 H_2O + 3 NaNO_3 + Al(NO_3)_3
