O2 + Ag = Ag2O

Input interpretation

oxygen + silver ⟶ silver(I) oxide
oxygen + silver ⟶ silver(I) oxide

Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically:  + ⟶  Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3  Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for O and Ag: O: | 2 c_1 = c_3 Ag: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: |   | + 4 ⟶ 2
