Input interpretation
O_3 ozone + CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 butane ⟶ H_2O water + CO_2 carbon dioxide
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: O_3 + CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 ⟶ H_2O + CO_2 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 O_3 + c_2 CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 CO_2 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O, C and H: O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + 2 c_4 C: | 4 c_2 = c_4 H: | 10 c_2 = 2 c_3 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 = 13/3 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 5 c_4 = 4 Multiply by the least common denominator, 3, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 13 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 15 c_4 = 12 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 13 O_3 + 3 CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_3 ⟶ 15 H_2O + 12 CO_2
