Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: HNO_3 + NH_4SH ⟶ H_2O + S + NO_2 + NH4HO3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 HNO_3 + c_2 NH_4SH ⟶ c_3 H_2O + c_4 S + c_5 NO_2 + c_6 NH4HO3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, N, O and S: H: | c_1 + 5 c_2 = 2 c_3 + 5 c_6 N: | c_1 + c_2 = c_5 + c_6 O: | 3 c_1 = c_3 + 2 c_5 + 3 c_6 S: | 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_3 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_2 = (4 c_1)/15 - 1/5 c_3 = 1 c_4 = (4 c_1)/15 - 1/5 c_5 = (4 c_1)/5 + 2/5 c_6 = (7 c_1)/15 - 3/5 The resulting system of equations is still underdetermined, so an additional coefficient must be set arbitrarily. Set c_1 = 12 and solve for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 12 c_2 = 3 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 3 c_5 = 10 c_6 = 5 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | 12 HNO_3 + 3 NH_4SH ⟶ H_2O + 3 S + 10 NO_2 + 5 NH4HO3
