Balance the chemical equation algebraically: Pb(NO_3)_2 + Ni ⟶ Pb + Ni(NO_3)_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 Pb(NO_3)_2 + c_2 Ni ⟶ c_3 Pb + c_4 Ni(NO_3)_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for N, O, Pb and Ni: N: | 2 c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | 6 c_1 = 6 c_4 Pb: | c_1 = c_3 Ni: | c_2 = 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 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | Pb(NO_3)_2 + Ni ⟶ Pb + Ni(NO_3)_2
