Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: H_2O + Cl_2 + Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ HCl + HNO_3 + PbO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 H_2O + c_2 Cl_2 + c_3 Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ c_4 HCl + c_5 HNO_3 + c_6 PbO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, Cl, N and Pb: H: | 2 c_1 = c_4 + c_5 O: | c_1 + 6 c_3 = 3 c_5 + 2 c_6 Cl: | 2 c_2 = c_4 N: | 2 c_3 = c_5 Pb: | c_3 = c_6 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 = 2 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 2 c_6 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 H_2O + Cl_2 + Pb(NO_3)_2 ⟶ 2 HCl + 2 HNO_3 + PbO_2
