Input interpretation
CO carbon monoxide + NiO nickel monoxide ⟶ CO_2 carbon dioxide + Ni nickel
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: CO + NiO ⟶ CO_2 + Ni Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 CO + c_2 NiO ⟶ c_3 CO_2 + c_4 Ni Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for C, O and Ni: C: | c_1 = c_3 O: | c_1 + c_2 = 2 c_3 Ni: | 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_1 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 1 c_2 = 1 c_3 = 1 c_4 = 1 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | CO + NiO ⟶ CO_2 + Ni
