Input interpretation
copper + phosphoric acid ⟶ hydrogen + CuPO4
Balanced equation
Balance the chemical equation algebraically: + ⟶ + CuPO4 Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 + c_2 ⟶ c_3 + c_4 CuPO4 Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for Cu, H, O and P: Cu: | c_1 = c_4 H: | 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 O: | 4 c_2 = 4 c_4 P: | 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 = 3/2 c_4 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 2 + 2 ⟶ 3 + 2 CuPO4
