Input interpretation
NH_3 ammonia + O_3 ozone ⟶ H_2O water + NO_2 nitrogen dioxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NH_3 + O_3 ⟶ H_2O + NO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NH_3 + c_2 O_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 NO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N and O: H: | 3 c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = c_3 + 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 = 7/6 c_3 = 3/2 c_4 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 6, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 6 c_2 = 7 c_3 = 9 c_4 = 6 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 6 NH_3 + 7 O_3 ⟶ 9 H_2O + 6 NO_2
