Balanced equation

Balance the chemical equation algebraically: S + KNO_3 ⟶ SO_2 + NO + K_2O Add stoichiometric coefficients, c_i, to the reactants and products: c_1 S + c_2 KNO_3 ⟶ c_3 SO_2 + c_4 NO + c_5 K_2O Set the number of atoms in the reactants equal to the number of atoms in the products for S, K, N and O: S: | c_1 = c_3 K: | c_2 = 2 c_5 N: | c_2 = c_4 O: | 3 c_2 = 2 c_3 + c_4 + c_5 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_5 = 1 and solve the system of equations for the remaining coefficients: c_1 = 3/2 c_2 = 2 c_3 = 3/2 c_4 = 2 c_5 = 1 Multiply by the least common denominator, 2, to eliminate fractional coefficients: c_1 = 3 c_2 = 4 c_3 = 3 c_4 = 4 c_5 = 2 Substitute the coefficients into the chemical reaction to obtain the balanced equation: Answer: | | 3 S + 4 KNO_3 ⟶ 3 SO_2 + 4 NO + 2 K_2O
