Input interpretation
sulfuric acid + boric acid ⟶ water + B2(SO4)3
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + ⟶ + B2(SO4)3 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 B2(SO4)3 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for H, O, S and B: H: | 2 c_1 + 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 4 c_1 + 3 c_2 = c_3 + 12 c_4 S: | c_1 = 3 c_4 B: | c_2 = 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_4 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 6 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 + 2 ⟶ 6 + B2(SO4)3
