NH3 + PbO = H2O + N2 + Pb

NH_3 ammonia + PbO lead monoxide ⟶ H_2O water + N_2 nitrogen + Pb lead

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: NH_3 + PbO ⟶ H_2O + N_2 + Pb Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 NH_3 + c_2 PbO ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 N_2 + c_5 Pb Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O and Pb: H: | 3 c_1 = 2 c_3 N: | c_1 = 2 c_4 O: | c_2 = c_3 Pb: | 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 1 c_5 = 3 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 NH_3 + 3 PbO ⟶ 3 H_2O + N_2 + 3 Pb
